eco-farms are part of the new renaissance to restore
beauty and nature to the world. They thrive in cities, backyards,
and they make rural living profitable again. They are "design-your-own"
rather than generic formula farms, and their design depends on your
local culture, bio-region, and your own passions. There is not one
copycat formula to follow, but this title gives an overview of the
micro eco-farming movement, including universal traits that assure
each farm's success, such as: Beyond organic growing methods, awareness
of the big picture, community connection, adaptability, diversification,
selling the farm's "story," … along with real life
examples of successful micro eco-farms that make these concepts quickly
graspable and adaptable to your very own one-of-a-kind micro eco-farm.
Read about the magic of little known trace minerals, how doing less
work will make your farm more productive, the blueberry farmer who
used a single pet horse to increase its sales, the rare pepper farmer
who evolves safely while always being on the forefront of newly discovered
rare pepper varieties, and the woman with less than an acre who makes
unusual products from her farm's flowers. Discover free networking
and other local and hard-to-find resources for weaving together the
unique how-tos needed for your particular micro eco -farm. |
