Microfarming for Profit: from Garden to Glory Dave Dewitt

With wit, expertise, and common sense, Dave DeWitt shows you how to establish a successful microfarm by choosing the most profitable plants and animals to raise and learning to market and sell what you produce. His informative yet conversational style makes you feel you're talking with an expert you already know.

More an entrepreneurial guide than gardening how-to, Microfarming for Profit is the essential, step-by-step handbook on how to turn unused or under-used land into an efficient, high-yielding, and profitable microfarm. DeWitt discusses the best growing choices with examples from successful microfarms, teaches how to market and sell what's produced, and then demonstrates how to create value-added products that can quickly increase a farmer's bottom line.
