From Surviving to Thriving: Strategies for Urban Farm Success

The purpose of this book is to help current and aspiring urban farmers move from crisis management to proactive risk management. As an urban farmer or urban ag entrepreneur, it's easy to spend all of your time putting out metaphorical (or literal!) fires, triaging your To Do list, and chasing that fabled big grant or trendy new crop that you hope will solve all your financial problems. But by investing the time to clarify your goals, and what steps you need to take to achieve them, you will be better able to achieve financial stability and prevent yourself from burning out.
