Summary

The Farm Market Handbook covers the true grit of small farming: where the money comes from. If your sweet corn is tall, your breed of chickens is beautiful, and your half-dozen goats give delicious milk, that's wonderful, but it's only half the battle. What you really need to know - if you want to live and work on the farm - is how to create a successful and sustainable business. Written by a farmer who teaches other farmers how to market their products, the Farm to Market Handbook combines a deep knowledge of the farming life and farmers; markets with hard-won experience turning farm products into a living wage. And author Janet Hurst goes beyond farmers' markets - she explains how to sell your produce to schools, restaurants, and other venues. You'll also read firsthand accounts from producers across the country on how they built a thriving business.--COVER
