Customer Reviews

Great marketing advice!
Having read many books on marketing, I feel qualified enough to tell you that this book delivers much good marketing advice. In this book there are many examples of what successful market gardeners have done. If you want to "sell what you grow", this is a good place to start. There are also some good gardening tips included. There are many books that you should read if you want to establish a 'minifarm' or market garden, and this is definately one of them.

This is not your typical "how-to" book
If you are tired of the plodding prose of most how-to books, prepare yourself for a pleasant surprise. Andrew Lee has crafted a fantastic guide for those new to organic gardening, and has done so with style, wit and humor. He walks you through soil types, composting, marketing techniques, and tool selection. He also compares and contrasts Community Supported Farms, Farmers' Markets, Subscription Farming, etc. Andrew Lee covers it all. And on top of that he has produced a lively and entertaining read in the process.

Very pleased
As a person who is looking towards expanding my garden, I was looking for a kind of a 'how to' book. While the book does contain 'testimonials,' it is contains a great deal of information on getting your produce to market. The types of ideas that I had not considered prior to reading the book. The book reads fast and concerns itself primarily with marketing your produce. If you're looking for primer on marketing your produce, this is an excellent first choice.
