Unlikely as it may seem, the most productive farmland in the U.S. is in the Bronx; the second is in San Francisco. On the prairie, by the coast, in the wooded hills or within city limits, everyone can grow for profit anywhere, and this book reveals how. Earn up to eight times the average personal income on as little as one acre of land! Rent or own, anyone can succeed with small fruits, house plants, cut flowers, vegetables, ornamentals and many others. "What a book! It's obvious this book was not written by someone sitting in an ivory tower. It comes from the trenches. From the school of hard knocks. Thank you for a superb job!" -- Paul Otten Northland Berry News

5.0 out of 5 stars
Great Book for the small farmer or business person!!,
By
This review is from: MetroFarm: The Guide to Growing for Big Profit on a Small of Land
I had the good fortune of listening to Michael Olson's radio show about three years ago. After listening to several shows I went to his website and saw this great book for sale. Anyway, to make a long story short, I purchased the book and it changed my way of thinking. This book is full of insights and information!! Not only are the "farming" concepts important, but also the "business insights" are more informative and helpful than must books that specialize in business concepts or rules. Get this book! You will not be disappointed. The book is informative, has some fascinating success stories and is just enjoyable to read.

What if I want to be a farmer but don't have much land?,
By
This review is from: Metro Farm: The Guide to Growing for Big Profit on a Small Parcel of Land (Paperback)
Then this book may just have the solution for your problem. Metrofarm is a one stop guide on the business aspects of owning your own micro-acrage farm, it deals in great depth with the very real financial and organizational aspects of running your farm as a business and not just a hobby.
Don't know anything about accounting, this book gives you a good look at the types of accounting best suited to agricultural pursuits as well as sound advice, "hire an accountant". There is so much to this book that I can't possibly cover all of it in a few paragraphs... suffice it to say that I've found it to be a helpful and well researched one-stop guide to answering questions about micro-farming.

There is a tremendous amount of useful information in MetroFarm. Would we buy MetroFarm if we were thinking about becoming market gardeners? Yes, we would! Greg and Pat Williams, Hortideas Magazine
