Successful Small-Scale Farming
An Organic Approach

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.  Karl Schwenke's clear-eyed approach to the best farming methods covers a wide range of proven techniques and practical advice, including:

  • How to improve, conserve, and enrich your soil organically, to ensure the highest (and healthiest) yields.
  • What machinery you'll need and how to use it.
  • The best "cash crops" and specialty crops to grow for profit and how to raise them.
  • How to use innovative strategies to find or create a market "niche" for your farm's crops or services.
  • A concise overview of essential farmstead skills, such as haying, fencing, and managing a woodlot.
  • Numerous charts and tables that put useful calculations at your fingertips.

With today's increased concern for the quality of the food we eat and the health of our environment, Successful Small-Scale Farming offers a unique and invaluable perspective on the future of agriculture.  Karl Schwenke's message--that small-scale farms can be cleaner, smarter and more efficient than corporate agribusiness--has never been so relevant as it is today.

Make it your ambition to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business and to work with your hands, just as we told you, so that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders and so that you will not be dependent on anybody.  1 Thessalonians 4:11-12 NIV

Though the fig tree does not blossom and there is no fruit on the vines, [though] the product of the olive fails and the fields yield no food, though the flock is cut off from the fold and there are no cattle in the stalls, Yet I will rejoice in the Lord; I will exult in the [victorious] God of my salvation! [Rom 8:37.]  The Lord God is my Strength, my personal bravery, and my invincible army; He makes my feet like hinds' feet and will make me to walk [not to stand still in terror, but to walk] and make [spiritual] progress upon my high places [of trouble, suffering, or responsibility]!  Habakkuk 3:17-19 AMP
