By Rachel Fisher, Heather Stretch, and Robin Tunnicliffe
New farmers, experienced growers, environmentalists, and fans of natural, organic produce alike will find ground to love in All the Dirt. Covering a wide variety of topics, this is the must-read book on small-scale organic farming. Learn the how-tos of farming from where to farm, what to grow, and how to grow it, to selecting the best equipment and, finally, harvesting and selling produce. The book also includes valuable planting and harvesting data and crop value charts—necessities for readers looking to start from seed whether in their backyard or on a larger scale. What’s more, the authors share their personal and collective experiences as successful business partners and farmers, and discuss the compelling reasons why we need more organic growers.
