“One of America’s most innovative farmers.” —Michael Pollan, New York Times–bestselling author of How to Change Your Mind
A pioneer of the organic movement in the United States, Eliot Coleman’s books and innovative methods have helped innumerable organic farmers build successful farms in deep accordance with nature. The wisdom in this seminal book holds true even as the modern agricultural canon has grown—in large part due to Coleman’s influence as a wise elder with decades of experience.
New material in this edition includes:
• Beautiful color photographs, taken by master gardener and author Barbara Damrosch (Eliot’s wife and co-farmer)
• Updated information on how Eliot’s practices have changed through his experiments over the last 35 years
• A new section from Damrosch about incorporating flowers on the small farm
• More information on new tools Eliot has invented that don’t appear in any of his other books
Inspired by the European intensive growers, The New Organic Grower, 30th Anniversary Edition offers a very approachable and productive form of farming that has proven to work well for the earth and its stewards for centuries. Gardeners working on 2.5 acres or less will find this organic farming book especially useful, as it offers proof that small-scale market growers and serious home gardeners can live good lives close to the land and make a profit at the same time. The New Organic Grower is ideal for young farmers just getting started, or gardeners seeking to expand into a more productive enterprise.
