Perfect for you if...

You're serious about starting a market garden and want systems that actually work at small scale, not just theory.
You care about regenerative agriculture but need the business side spelled out: costs, pricing, CSA logistics.
You want to feed your community and build soil at the same time, and you're willing to get your hands dirty.

Maybe not for you if...

You're looking for a quick-start guide to growing tomatoes in your back garden.
You prefer large-scale commodity farming or conventional agribusiness models.
You want someone's memoir or philosophical journey rather than detailed planning templates and actionable systems.

About this book

No-till farming—growing crops without disturbing the soil—offers an alternative to conventional farming practices. This guide covers starting and running a no-till organic vegetable farm, written by Daniel Mays, who owns and manages an organic no-till farm in Maine. The book explains the environmental, social, and economic benefits of no-till systems and presents methods scaled for small operations that rely primarily on human labor with minimal machinery. It includes planning and record-keeping tools, marketing strategies, and information on community engagement programs such as CS As, food justice initiatives, and on-farm education.
