From the book:
Gardeners across the United States are harvesting big bucks from remarkably tiny plots. When
I was a suburban farmer in Knoxville, Tennesse (population about 250,000), my partner and
I grew nursery stock on a 60-foot by 200-foot lot, and we still had plenty of room for a kitchen
garden. In one season we sold over $14,000 worth of plants.
Reader Cindy says,
"As more people turn to locally grown food and want sources of organic produce, the home
gardener can turn a hobby into profit. This book isn't a handbook that covers every detail
of starting a micro-farm but it is a great starting place for anyone entertaining the idea of
growing extra food to sell at a local farmer's market, from a roadside stand, or to local
restaurants who want fresh, local, organic produce.
"While the emphasis is on gardening, the book also includes information on developing good
soil, raising livestock, cultivating honey bees, and alternative produce such as flowers. The
author gives advice from his own expertise on the financial side of micro-farming, marketing
and selling strategies, plant-by-plant information, and how one can turn less than an acre
into a source of income.
"For anyone wanting ideas for selling extra produce from the garden or who may be
entertaining the idea of going fully into business, this book is a good source of information."
