The Market Gardener

In "The Market Gardener," author and farmer Jean-Martin Fortier shares effective horticultural techniques and innovative methods developed on his small micro-farm, which successfully feeds over 200 families. This comprehensive guide offers practical insights on establishing biologically intensive cropping systems, farming without tractors, and efficiently managing crops, pests, and pricing. Influenced by French intensive growing traditions and American agricultural pioneers, Fortier demonstrates how profitable market gardening is achievable with minimal investment and land.
