  • HOMEMADE FOR SALE

    HOMEMADE FOR SALE

    From farm-to-fork and "Buy Local" to slow food and handmade artisan breads, real food (made with real ingredients by real people) is in increasing demand. Cottage food laws in the United States have been passed in many states, although they vary in regulation from state to state.* Finally, "homemade" and "fresh from the oven" on the package can mean exactly what it says.

Packed with profiles of successful cottage food entrepreneurs, this comprehensive and accessible resource covers everything you need to get cooking for your customers, creating items that by their very nature are specialized and unique. Topics covered include:

    • Product development and testing
    • Marketing and developing your niche
    • Structuring your business and planning for the future
    • Managing liability, risk, and government regulations

    You can join a growing movement of entrepreneurs starting small food businesses from their home.

Everything required is probably already in your home kitchen. Best of all, you can start tomorrow!

  • THE MARVELOUS PIGNESS OF PIGS

    THE MARVELOUS PIGNESS OF PIGS

    Now in his first book written for a faith audience, Joel Salatin offers a deeply personal argument for earth stewardship, and calls for fellow Christians to join him in looking to the Bible for a foodscape in line with spiritual truth. Salatin urges Christians to rethink America's allegiance to cheap corporate food that destroys creation in its production, impoverishes Third World countries, and supports oligarchic interests.

  • THE PERMACULTURE HANDBOOK

    THE PERMACULTURE HANDBOOK

    The urban landscape has swallowed vast swaths of prime farmland across North America. Imagine how much more self-reliant our communities would be if 30 million acres of lawns were made productive again. Permaculture is a practical way to apply ecological design principles to food, housing, and energy systems; making growing fruits, vegetables and livestock easier and more sustainable.

    The Permaculture Handbook is a step-by-step, beautifully illustrated guide to creating resilient and prosperous households and neighborhoods, complemented by extensive case studies of three successful farmsteads and market gardens. This comprehensive manual casts garden farming as both an economic opportunity and a strategy for living well with less money. It shows how, by mimicking the intelligence of nature and applying appropriate technologies such as solar and environmental design, permaculture can:

    • Create an abundance of fresh, nourishing local produce
    • Reduce dependence on expensive, polluting fossil fuels
    • Drought-proof our cities and countryside
    • Convert waste into wealth
    Permaculture is about working with the earth and with each other to repair the damage of industrial overreach and to enrich the living world that sustains us. The Permaculture Handbook is the definitive, practical North American guide to this revolutionary practice, and is a must-read for anyone concerned about creating food security, resilience and a legacy of abundance rather than depletion.
