Full of little gems
Although the costs and prices in the book are out of date they are still useful. Especially the table of comparative returns for different crops per square foot. And the cost benefit of different types of production.
A really worthwhile read for anyone considering their garden.
Very Practical
I got a lot of ideas on how to work a small acreage successfully. I hope to put these ideas into practice starting next year. The book got me to thinking creatively.
Pleasant, not great, just pleasant
This is a nice book of anecdotes and they're each short enough that they stay fresh without being overly long winded. There are a few good ideas and some are quite detailed in their recommendations, but I wouldn't say there was anything earth shattering. I mean don't we all know that to be successful you should cater to a niche market and provide top quality produce and service? After all, that's the final message of this book in a nutshell, cater to the niche and cultivate a loyal following.
Still the stories are short and decidedly pleasant to read, so it's impossible for me to give this anything lower than a 4 in rating. This won't be anywhere near my all time favorites, but it does help pass the time.
