New Organic Grower: A Master's Manual Of Tools And Techniques For The Home And Market Gardener

Coleman lives and farms in Maine and has traveled widely to refine his thinking and methods with regard to the growing of organic vegetables. This recently revised and expanded modern classic is very much for the serious gardener or small market farmer. Coleman has spent three decades working intensively to produce superlative results in the field and garden.

“This is the best book on small-scale farming I’ve read in years.”--Pat Stone, Mother Earth News

“I know of no other person. . . who can produce better results on the land with an economy of effort and means than Eliot. He has transformed gardening from a task, to a craft, and finally to what Steward Brand would cal ‘local science’.”--Paul Hawken, from the Foreword

“Anybody seriously tempted to try. . . raising healthy food on healthy land. . . must first read The New Organic Grower. Coleman, who has been a quiet leader in the American organic movement for several decades, presents a balanced, logical exposition of his subject.”--Horticulture



“Coleman conveys a vast amount of detailed information without ever insulting the intelligence of the reader. He speaks as if to a fellow home or market gardener, sharing what works for him and discussing what he knows and what he doesn’t know. The New Organic Grower will be the book you dog-ear and feather with yellow sticky pages, returning to it time and again.”--San Francisco Chronicle



“Eliot Coleman’s book will help market gardeners establish the vital and profitable link between farm and city during the 1990s. Every small-scale grower and serious gardener should have a copy.”--Robert Rodale
