Download or read book The Lean Micro Farm written by Ben Hartman and published by Chelsea Green Publishing. This book was released on 2023-11-30 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Ben Hartman is a true innovator for the small farm.”—Curtis Stone, author of The Urban Farmer It’s time to think big about small farms. Award-winning author and “green leader” (Grist) Ben Hartman shares practical how-to tips, personal stories, and surprising examples of cutting-edge farmers and innovators around the world to show us how. In the early 1970s, US Agriculture Secretary Earl Butz infamously commanded farmers to “get big or get out.” In The Lean Micro Farm, author Ben Hartman rejects that disastrous suggestion and instead takes up the charge of the late agrarian thinker Gene Logsdon: “Get small and stay in.” Taking inspiration from the groundbreaking ideas of E. F. Schumacher and Mahatma Gandhi, The Lean Micro Farm shows how small, hyperlocal farms can be both ecologically and economically superior to industrial-scale operations geared toward export and commodity markets. The Lean Micro Farm details the author’s remarkable journey to downsize his farm from one acre to a third of an acre in an effort to prioritize family and community over work, all without taking a pay cut. In addition, Hartman profiles six innovative farmers from across the globe who embody this “get small” mindset. These pioneering farmers show all of us a path toward resilience in the face of supply chain disruption, globalization, and climate change. They model a gentler, more ecological approach to farming that produces less waste and uses less plastic, petroleum, and fertilizer. Like his previous two books, The Lean Farm and The Lean Farm Guide to Growing Vegetables, Hartman’s The Lean Micro Farm doesn’t just explain why smaller is better, it shows readers exactly how it can be done with step-by-step guides on how to turn a profit from a tiny, but productive, parcel of farmland. Readers will find not just philosophical justifications for a minimalist approach to agriculture but also actionable information for starting your own profitable micro farm, including: • A description of the “deep mulch” method for building fertility • Instructions on two-step bed flipping to increase production on a small footprint • A guide for choosing essential tools and technologies “with a human face” • An easy-to-follow process for making your micro farm lean and efficient • A detailed plan for selling $20,000 worth of produce from your backyard It’s time, Hartman makes clear, to pivot to a new kind of farming—one that builds upon ancestral knowledge, nourishes communities, and puts human joy, not technology, at its center. “Hartman has revolutionized his methods, cut down his work hours dramatically, and shrunk the size of his farm, all while making a better income.”—Civil Eats

Download or read book Bananadog written by Brian Newhouse and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2008-11-01 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: (back cover description) In the beginning months of 2006, I rode a $35 bicycle 3200km around New Zealand. I embarked on this adventure for several reasons: I couldn't find a full-time job in my field of education, I wanted to experience a place I'd never been and I wanted to see if I could actually do it. The goal was simple: get from Christchurch to Auckland by bicycle. With that goal in mind for 97 days, the obstacles between A and B became less difficult to overcome. It's easy to make things complicated in life. When I challenged myself to do something very simple, I found that sometimes things are not as complicated as they seem. Or at least they don't have to be.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After a series of disappointments and mishaps at college, Josh Blevins returns to his small hometown, loyal dog in tow, and begrudgingly settles in. Though he feels like a failure and his life is at a crossroads, he’s made new friends and even found a girl. But the pleasant façade of Midnight Falls he remembered from childhood hides a sinister evil. One that goes beyond the hate festering within the borders and etched in the streets to something much deeper and chilling. Anyone and everyone could be a monster lurking behind the mask of hospitality. Knowing who to trust is impossible, especially when he’s constantly butting heads with the sheriff, who has a grudge against him, an axe to grind, and no intentions of burying it unless it’s in Josh’s back. Somehow, he's become an outsider in a place he once called home, and is suddenly forced to choose between facing his problems or to keep running for the rest of his life. And what lingers in the dark may not let him survive long enough to decide. Fans of "The Howling" by Gary Brandner, "Salem's Lot" by Stephen King, or "Midnight Mass" will enjoy "Midnight Falls".

Here's what readers are saying about Liquid Gold (LG): "I gave up reading mysteries always the same mundane scenarios...I was asked to do a read for Rustyna. I found myself involved! If Rustyna decided to write a sequel to this mystery and or a different mystery I will read those novels as well. Also all her other novels she may write." - Mary "Usually I put down a mystery, not necessarily wanting to return to the book right away. I foresee the plot before the third chapter. Guess what ... I never put it down ... stayed up all night reading this novel; an excellent change in mysteries." - Ron "(LG) takes place here in the Verde Valley, Arizona where I live and it's quite factual. Also for the first time ever, an author made me curious enough to do my own research to find the problems ever changing, up to date! We need to think differently and make changes." -
