This book explores “...a quiet revolution: the emergence of “microfarms” on tiny acreages that achieve astounding yields of organic produce.”

“Barb makes the invisible visible. Visible, we can celebrate it, join it, and support it. And with the dozens of farms she describes here… I feel ever more empowered to do so.”
-- Anna Lappe, co-author of Hope’s Edge: The Next Diet for a Small Planet

Micro Eco-Farming
Prospering from Backyard to Small Acreage In Partnership with the Earth
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.
