Review from Grass Roots Australia Magazine (Feb/Mar edition #245:
“Considering going into farming or maximising the land you have? This book is a must-read, with useful and practical information on how to get started and make it work. It covers everything from what to produce where, animal husbandry and value-adding, to regulations, marketing and tourism, and even balancing work and family. There’s a wealth of practical advice in the profiles of established market gardeners and farmers such as Tammi Jonas from Jonai Farms.”
