A guide to organic vegetable gardens and small-scale farming with an emphasis on sustainability.
Biodynamic farming, with its focus on ecological sustainability, has emerged as the gold standard in the organic gardening movement. Daron Joffe--known as Farmer D--has made it his mission to empower, educate, and inspire people to become conscientious consumers, citizens, and stewards of the land.
In this engaging call to action, Farmer D teaches us to not only create sustainable gardens but also to develop a more holistic, community-minded approach to how our food is grown and how we live our lives in balance with nature.
Illustrated with photographs of gardens designed by Farmer D as well as line drawings, the book is packed with advice on establishing a biodynamic garden, composting, soil composition and replenishment, controlling pests and disease, cooperative gardening practices, and creating delicious meals with your home-grown produce.
In collaboration with a James Beard Award-nominated food journalist, Farmer D offers an indispensable resource for anyone who wants to make the world a greener place.
