Book ID/图书代码： 08900014B73895
English Summary/英文概要： With wit, expertise, and common sense, Dave DeWitt shows you how to establish a successful microfarm by choosing the most profitable plants and animals to raise and learning to market and sell what you produce. His informative yet conversational style makes you feel you’re talking with an expert you already know. More an entrepreneurial guide than gardening how-to, Microfarming for Profit is the essential, step-by-step handbook on how to turn unused or under-used land into an efficient, high-yielding, and profitable microfarm. DeWitt discusses the best growing choices with examples from successful microfarms, teaches how to market and sell what’s produced, and then demonstrates how to create value-added products that can quickly increase a farmer’s bottom line.

Awards/获奖情况：Here is its first review, from next week’s edition of Publishers Weekly:
As more and more people convert their yards into vegetable gardens, urban farming establishes itself as très Brooklyn, and middle-class incomes falter, many newly hatched home agriculturalists are bound to daydream about turning their green thumbs into greenbacks. This useful, entertaining guide from DeWitt, the prolific author dubbed the “pope of peppers,” gives prospective microfarmers the dirt on realistic essentials for turning a garden into a money-making enterprise. Unlike some starry-eyed back-to-the-land advocates, DeWitt, who has gardened and sold garden produce from an early age, warns readers that a microfarm is more likely to enhance rather than replace current income sources and that sales and business know-how are more important than gardening skills. The author advises on such basics as business plans and sales techniques; profiles a range of actual working microfarms, from flowers to killer bees; and relates hilarious stories from his own microfarming, including a disastrous attempt at cannabis raising. Emphasizing the importance of value-added products, DeWitt offers up some wacky but shrewd agrotourism ideas: Edible Aquarium and Sushi Bar or Beautiful but Deadly Microfarm and Poison Museum, anyone?
