For decades author Gene Logsdon and his family have managed a lively and productive small farm (homestead actually). Along the way he has become a widely influential journalist and social critic of industrial agriculture. Here, Gene reminds us that healthy, economical agriculture must work "at Nature's pace" rather than trying to impose industrial order and time frames on the natural world. Foreseeing a future with more farmers, not fewer, he looks for workable models among the Amish, among his lifelong friends in Ohio, and among resourceful urban gardeners and organic growers who are creating an innovative farmers-market economy in every region of the country. Gene says" Nature knows how to raise plants and animals". Let's give her a chance. Soft cover, 6" x 9", 258 pages. CHECK OUT OUR "LOGSDON COLLECTION" by entering "Logsdon" in the search box.
