PRAISE FOR THE MARKET GARDENER
“Jean-Martin’s book is very well done and should be of great use to market growers everywhere. Exchange of ideas and information is so important because when we pass ideas on, the next person gets to start where we got to and take the ideas to another level.”
“Few books have grabbed my attention as dramatically as this one, because it’s ultimately doable for thousands of would-be food and farm healers.”
“This is a fantastic addition to any aspiring market gardener’s library, and even has a few new ideas for old hands. Jean-Martin has laid out all of the basics for how we can farm more profitably, productively and passionately on a more human sized scale.”
