A great introduction to market farming on the livelihood scale -- excellent for gardeners interested in scaling up.

Sustainable Vegetable Production is essential reading for every beginning farmer, as it introduces the entire range of topics critical to farm success, from planning and planting to marketing and recordkeeping. It's also helpful to growers just starting to mechanize, because it provides a good overview of the types of equipment that are appropriate for small vegetable farms. Most helpful are the enterprise budgets for 18 crops, based on financial analysis of real farms. A worksheet for doing your own enterprise budgets is included.
