Customer Reviews

Great advice

After reading Mr. Whatley's book, I want to give up what I'm doing and starting up a clientele membership club farm. If more farmers would diversify in Whatley's style, I believe the state of America's farm community would be much better. Good practical advice, if a bit outdated, from all aspects of starting, running and capitalizing on a farm business

Its too bad this book is out of print

The ideas in this book are most useable. Market Gardeners can get honest solutions to problems they are facing by reading this book.

Great advice for people wanting to get into farming

Mr. Whatley's book contains excellent, practical advice for starting a small-scale farm while stacking the odds in your favor. He correctly advocates that the future of farming isn't in the government, Del Monte (et al) or thousand-acre megafarms but in small operations providing specialized crops & meat to selective clientele. Though somewhat dated in pricing, the advice is still valid fourteen years after printing. Once I get mine up & running, I let you know more.

Very informative.

A must read for anyone thinking of making money on small acreage. Great detail and full of how to drawings and practical advise. As a small farmer I learned a lot from one of the gurus of small farming.
