The No-Till Organic Vegetable Farm: How to Start and Run a Profitable Market Garden That Builds Health in Soil, Crops, and Communities Paperback – November 10, 2020

As a gardener who embraces no-till, organic methods and is planning for market growing, I found this to be an excellent book. It covers processes and methodologies from soil preparation to marketing. The only criticism I found is that the book dives deeply into soil science very early, which was somewhat overwhelming. But that just means I'll need to go back and study more carefully. Overall the book is written well, is based largely on the author's personal experience, and can be helpful for anyone wanting to develop their garden using more natural methodologies.

Wow I didn’t think I would love or need this book as much as I have. It’s a great resource with loads of info that isn’t just filled with “fluff” to make the book seem like you are getting some book. The book is well written and too the point making each page valuable. Well worth the purchase!

This made for an interesting read. I have areas on our small farm that I can see converting to no till. I liked how the live in workers and community aspects of the farm dynamic work. This was well worth looking into .

If you are a serious home gardener or farmer, don't hesitate for a minute: buy this book. Mays has crafted a stunning guide from start to finish--farm/land acquisition, business planning, crop planning, bed prep, seed starting, harvesting, marketing, cover cropping, weed suppression, and more. Beautifully written and illustrated, the book will make you long for the planting season to begin, but there is plenty to mull during winter planning months. Having made a healthy profit over the past decade farming 2.5 acres of vegetables, Mays shares his approach so clearly that any grower--urban, suburban, or rural--could follow his lead to make a living growing nourishing food. The no till approach builds soil health (which humans can't survive without), sequesters carbon (a climate solution), grows phenomenal vegetables, and strengthens the local economy. I have visited Frith Farm, and I don't think words can capture its beauty or the richness of the soil he has built. I bought extra copies to give away...Every farmer in the world should read this book.

Very interesting and helpful

Ok, so personal opinion from a 40+ year home gardener. IF you can get past all the “climate change is man made” propaganda of the first couple of chapters, this book has a lot of great information. It is written in easy to understand terms and will be easy for a new or new to market farming layman.

Quality pictures with very useful information from a successful market gardener/farmer. This book constantly finds itself lying around random spots throughout my house due to the fact I am always referencing it. The price is also very reasonable for the information you receive.

I found this book super helpful. It is packed with thorough explanations about soil health and no-till practices that will help me up my no-till game, and understand how to make smart changes, and why I am doing things. Definitely going on the reference shelf to keep for a long time.The level of information in this book might be a little intimidating if you're brand new to no-till farming, but the good news there is that there's a lot of great introduction-to-no-till books you could read first.

So far so good. There’s way more info than I need in here but I got what I wanted and more.

El autor comparte sin reservas de la A a la Z cómo manejar un rancho regenerativo, desde la compra del terreno hasta la comercialización. La fotografía es muy bonita y los diagramas muy explicativos. Pasta blanda y hojas de muy buena calidad. Lo recomiendo ampliamente.

L'ho preso per imparare di più sul mondo dell'agricoltura rigenerativa. Si può fare molto per l'ambiente anche dall'orto di casa :) Consigliato!

Une référence si l'agriculture bio sans labour vous intéresse ou vous passionne. Mérite six étoiles. Ce livre regorge d'informations très utiles. On y apprend beaucoup. Les photos sont également magnifiques.Le style de l'auteur est très agréable pour les non-anglophones car très fluide, simple et clair. Si l'anglais n'est pas votre tasse de thé, avec un petit traducteur en ligne et un niveau anglais des collèges, la lecture sera finger-in-the-nose.Assurément un de mes livres préférés.

Very nice book, but to my deception (my fault for not reading the white letter text in the title)This book is more about business scale and not to the backyard gardener that i am. Ive still learned useful things but, maybe 2/3 of the book wasn’t useful for me.
