Have you ever desired, deep within your soul, to make a comfortable full-time living from a farming enterprise? Too often, people dare not even vocalize this desire because it seems absurd. After all, the farm population is dwindling. It takes too much capital to start. The pay is too low. The working conditions are dusty, smelly and noisy: not the place to raise a family. This is all true, and more, for most farmers. But for farm entrepreneurs, the opportunities for a farm family business have never been greater. The aging farm population is creating cavernous niches begging to be filled by creative visionaries who will go in dynamic new directions. As the industrial agriculture complex crumbles and our culture clambers for clean food, the countryside beckons anew with profitable farming opportunities. While this book can be helpful to all farmers, it targets the wannabes, the folks who actually entertain notions of living, loving and learning on a piece of land. Anyone willing to dance with such a dream should be able to assess its assets and liabilities; its fantasies and realities.… (altro)

An excellent and inspiring book about farming. It seems to include a little bit of every part of his story and other books. Definitely very highly recommended! ( )

This is more a philosophy of farming text. Salatin argues for an attitude long gone in American rural areas. He's the ultimate hands-on gentleman farmer. He's a hard working intelligent man, with his priorities very straight in his own head.
Beyond running a farm and family businesses that are the envy of many, he takes the time to proselytize on paper, film and in person.
Impossible to read straight through, I keep coming back to it to enjoy chapters or parts of chapters.
Salatin's zest for life seen on film comes through on the page as well.
Later in the book he gives some very specific advice on stock, equipment, RE improvements, marketing, office work, etc, etc, etc. He is a very enthusiastic farmer and seems to have thought through every aspect. He brings fresh eyes to everything.
