Great Collection of Advice,
By A Customer
This review is from: Backyard Market Gardening (Paperback)
It's not a step by step guide to how to do it, but more a collection of interesting articles on many aspects of market farming. I love all the conflicting ideas that leads one to believe there is no one way to do this. But you should do it and have fun and hopefully make some money!

Very pleased,
By K. D. Kelly (Johnstown, PA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Backyard Market Gardening (Paperback)
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.

This is our bible,
By A Customer
This review is from: Backyard Market Gardening (Paperback)
We just started into vegetable farming and the hints and tips in this book are great! They are designed for those just starting into the business with both what not and what to do. We have found great advice in this book, detailed harvesting and storage information that I had not even thought ahead to, as well as great business advice. I highly recommend this to anyone starting a market garden.
