Product Description
Book Description
A couple working six months per year for 50 hours per week on 20 acres can net $25,000-$30,000 per year with an investment equivalent to the price of one new medium-sized tractor. Seldom has agriculture held out such a plum. In a day when main-line farm experts predict the continued demise of the family farm, the pastured poultry opportunity shines like a beacon in the night, guiding the way to a brighter future.

The Only Step-By-Step Guide to Small-Farm Broiler Production,
By Robert Plamondon (Blodgett, OR USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Pastured Poultry Profits (Paperback)
Salatin gives a step-by-step guide to his innovative method of raising meat chickens on pasture. This book has been used by hundreds of total novices to build up profitable small-farm broiler businesses. Salatin gives clear descriptions and makes lavish use of photographs to get his points across. Pastured broilers taste better than store-bought, and the manure left behind by the pastured chickens has rejuvenated our pasture. The work is pleasant and isn't strenuous. The hardest part is becoming proficient at butchering. Salatin lays out the method, but learning to do it quickly takes practice. My wife studied this book, followed the instructions carefully, and has had three successful seasons of broiler production, and is looking forward to season #4.

How to Farm Properly,
This review is from: Pastured Poultry Profits (Paperback)
I haven't yet finished this book, as I just read a chapter here and there, but so far it is comprehensive, filled with little tips and tricks to raising healthy chickens. The casual tone and background information given really help you to feel like you are speaking with an experienced farmer and gleaning advice.

From a family who is proving it's still possible to make a good living on the American small farm.Includes an index and excerpts from marketing newsletters. This workable production model covers every aspect of pasture-grazed chickens from building pens to processing the meat to how to talk to your customers.
