What to expect
● Why be a farmer in the 21st century? Do you have what it takes?
● What does sustainable really mean, and how can a small (as little as one acre) to midsize farm survive alongside commodity-scale agriculture?
● How do you access education, land, and other needs with limited capital?
● How can you reap an actual profit, including a return on land investment?
● How do you build connections with employees, colleagues, and customers?
● At the end of the day, how do you measure success? (Hint: Cash your lifestyle paycheck.)
More than a practical guide, Start Your Farm is a hopeful call to action for anyone who aspires to grow wholesome, environmentally sustainable food for a living. Take it from Forrest Pritchard and Ellen Polishuk: Making this dream a reality is not for the faint of heart, but it's well within reach—and there's no greater satisfaction under the sun!
