“When I first wrote Successful Small-Scale Farming eleven years ago,” writes Karl Schwenke in the preface to this new edition, “an ‘organic farmer’ was synonymous with a ‘lonely hippie troublemaker.’ Today he is classed somewhere between a high-priced elitist and an opportunistic liar.”

So begins this classic guide to organic small-scale agriculture, now fully updated and revised for a new generation of readers who would like to live closer to the earth.

Successful Small-Scale Farming introduces anyone owning (or planning to own) a small farm to both the harsh realities and the real potential involved in making a full- or part-time living on the land. Swenke’s clear-eyed approach to the best farming methods covers a wide range of proven techniques and practical advice.
