Eat Out of Your Own Garden!
(Nothing tastes better than fresh picked garden vegetables and fruit)

Book Review
By Andy Hudson, COGOA

Jay North’s new book “Getting Started in Organic Gardening for Fun and Profit” brings a whole new meaning to growing your business.

While most organic farming books are specifically targeted toward either beginners or professionals and load the reader up with a wheelbarrow of information that even the best tilled soil would have a tough time absorbing, this book is almost the exact opposite. Not only does it deliver priceless information to help any level organic farmer get the most out of their farm, but Jay North writes in an easy-to-read and entertaining way that delivers all the vital information while keeping it light, fun and entertaining – just the way organic farming should be.

Very often topic-specific books like this one become too mired in detail and lose focus on the overall joy of the subject at hand. Not this book. In fact, the advice, tips, and resources Mr. North gives are specific enough to give readers a very clear point from which to conduct more detailed research, yet we are never bogged down in a quagmire of excessive or needless detail. This makes for an upbeat, speedy read with a staggering amount of easily accessible information dispersed throughout the book. Perhaps the sweetest treat is how the author shares decades of valuable experience and tips for new and experienced farmers alike, pouring out his passion for organic faming – a fast growing multi-billion dollar industry for which he has become one of the world’s leading experts. From selecting, buying, and planting seeds to the eventual retail and wholesale marketing of your organically grown final products, everything is covered in as much detail as it needs to be, with many excellent tips coming from decades of experience by one of the world’s leading organic farming experts.

Overall, “Getting Started in Organic Gardening for Fun and Profit” not only delivers on how to generate the fun and profits, but whether you’re just starting out with a small community farm or a seasoned professional looking to expand your business, consider this book your treasure map to the land of organic plenty.
