Micro Eco-Farming

Prospering from Backyard to Small Acreage In Partnership with the Earth

micro-eco-farming-photo2

 $16.95

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).”
    ♦ Jere Gettle, Editor of "The Heirloom Gardener" Magazine
