Product Description
Selecting locally grown organic meals is a sustainable living trend that’s taken hold throughout North America. Celebrated farming professional Eliot Coleman helped start off this movement with The New Organic Grower published 20 years ago. He continues to lead the way, pushing the limits of the harvest season whilst working his world-renowned organic farm in Harborside, Maine. Now, with his extended-awaited new book, The Winter Harvest Handbook, any individual can have access to his tough-won encounter. Gardeners and farmers can use the revolutionary, hugely profitable approaches Coleman describes in this complete handbook to raise crops throughout the coldest of winters. Building on the techniques that hundreds of thousands of farmers and gardeners adopted from The New Organic Grower and Four-Season Harvest, this new book focuses on developing produce of unparalleled freshness and high quality in customized unheated or, in some situations, minimally heated, movable plastic greenhouses. Coleman offers clear, concise particulars on greenhouse construction and maintenance, planting schedules, crop management, harvesting practices, and even advertising and marketing techniques in this total, meticulous, and illustrated guide. Readers have access to all the techniques that have confirmed to make larger-quality crops on Coleman’s own farm. His painstaking study and experimentation with much more than 30 diverse crops will be useful to tiny farmers, homesteaders, and skilled home gardeners who seek to expand their production seasons. A passionate advocate for the revival of tiny-scale sustainable farming, Coleman offers a practical model for supplying fresh, locally grown create for the duration of the winter season, even in climates exactly where standard wisdom says it “just can’t be completed.”
