It gives a true beginner some helpful insights into the different forms of micro-agriculture but it never goes into detail.

If I were an urbanite who knew nothing about gardening or nature, I suppose this could be a good inspirational book. But for someone who is seriously researching ways of “prospering from backyard to small acreage,” this book is virtually no help. No details…not even suggestions on what size to build raised beds. The author expounds page after page on living with nature, which I appreciate, but the philosophical underpinnings of such do not provide the logistics of making money.

My thoughts are much like those of another reviewer. Interesting, reads more like a long magazine article than a book. Provides lots of inspirational examples of what other people have done and ideas for what you can do but not a lot of practical advice.

As someone seriously considering raising flowers and vegetables for profit from my back yard, I found this book inspiring and informative. The author relates her own experiences and those of others in the business in a way that demonstrates the benefits (and potential profits) that come from nurturing and caring for the earth. I especially liked the section on soil enhancement and the benefit of microbes-very interesting!

I have long dreamed of a small, sustainable homestead. The information provided in Micro Eco-farming give a solid base to implement the micro farm of your dreams. Fiber animals, organic fruit, CSAs-many inspiring stories on living the dream. The ideas presented highlight the importance of keeping people connected to their food source and to the natural world.
