What Others Are Saying about Market Farm Forms

It worked!!! Thanks so much. I really appreciate it. I have already recommended it to lots of people. The templates are terrific. If you keep adding to them, I would love to purchase whatever you do - your work is top quality...I can just imagine how great your veggies taste!
— Blessings, Cheri

Since purchasing this from Marcie earlier this year for a conference session I gave on small farming I've incorporated it into my record keeping and can't begin to say enough how well thought out this resource is. I've had my own haphazard record keeping and other methods, but this is so VERY organized. It's worth every penny.
— Michaele Blakely, Growing Things, Carnation WA

Since it came to our attention here at ATTRA, some co-workers in vegetable production and agricultural economics have really been impressed at this genuinely useful and farmer-friendly book and spreadsheet combination. While a number of farm management spreadsheets exist, Market Farm Forms is the best one I've seen to help organize and calculate a mix of vegetables and related crops raised by market gardeners, truck farmers, and CSAs. On top of that, it supports the needs of certified organic growers with special features.
— Steve Diver, ATTRA

I wrote Market Farm Forms at the urging of other growers who had taken my workshops on using computers for recordkeeping on smaller farms and planning and production for CSAs.

Now in its third printing, Market Farm Forms: Spreadsheet Templates for Planning and Organizing Information on Diversified Market Farms by Marcie A. Rosenzweig with Bill Kaye-Blake is now shipping with a CD that has the Forms in both Mac and PC formats. The CD is manufactured to allow the user to see only the forms compatible with their platform and contains spreadsheet templates that work with Excel versions 4.0 through 2001.

Written while Rosenzweig was farming, the book explain using the simple, non-linked spreadsheet templates for recordkeeping helping growers direct-marketing through farmers' markets, CSAs, as well as to restaurants and co-ops to make better management decisions. The feedback loops show how to improve operations every year, mitigating risk and leading to increased economic sustainability. This kind of system may help producers comply with the recordkeeping requirements for organic certification.
