Sustainable market farming : intensive vegetable production on a few acres / Pam Dawling ; foreword by Lynn Byczynski.
Across North America, an agricultural renaissance is unfolding. A growing number of market gardeners are emerging to feed our appetite for organic, regional produce.

Targeted at serious growers in every climate zone, Sustainable Market Farming is a comprehensive manual for small-scale farmers raising organic crops sustainably on a few acres.
