Dan will be talking about this book and his own journey in seed growing with an opportunity to buy a signed copy of the book direct from the author. This occasion is a not-to-be-missed opportunity for seed farmers and home gardeners alike.
The Seed Farmer provides everything you need to know to help integrate organic seed production into your small-scale farm or market garden simply, profitably, and successfully. This unique and exciting guide proves that going to seed is easier than you think!
“Dan Brisebois is truly a master at what he does” writes Jean-Martin Fortier, best-selling author of The Market Gardener.
An organic grower in the Cornwall area says, “The book is very readable and comprehensive, useful for home gardeners too and should be in all our regional libraries.”
