by Barbara Berst Adams
Micro eco-farmers across the nation are profiting from
small acreages to small-town backyards. Larger farms are adding ‘microfarm’ segments to their larger
operations. Their livelihoods restore the planet while creating an abundance of healthy products produced in
very small spaces. Here’s how they succeed, how they start “with nothing,” what traits they share, and what
secrets they know.
Hundreds of real-life examples with ideas, resources
and methods for all who aspire to create their own micro eco-farm: from wild-grazed mini dairies,
backyard gourmet restaurant gardens, homegrown organic spa products, ‘u-gather’ nut groves,
front-yard cut-flower stands, heritage rose farms, children’s and holiday farms, urban greenhouses,
farm and cottage industry partnerships, miniature Shetland sheep with 11 natural colors of wool, herbs and
flowers for healing, exotic and heirloom perfume melons, connoisseur apple orchards, ethnic personal chef
gardens, old-fashioned farm festivals, native and wild edible farms, to mail-order farm crafts and
more.
“This book teaches farming on a tiny but very profitable
scale. Learn to make a living right out of your own backyard, raising and marketing natural and unique crops,
selling them to niche markets. This exciting book is a must for anyone interested in growing crops for market (and
home gardeners).”

Gardener" Magazine
