Welcome
to Our Library

We get asked frequently at conferences and events "Is there a book I should read that covers all the things your team talks about?".  Our response is typically, unfortunately, no. Farms and farmers are very broad terms that cover the history and evolutions of diverse people with traditions and knowledge handed down for many generations. 

 

Spoken of as a monolith, these terms conjure up as many different images as there are people. Through multiple writings and first-hand experiences, we try to anticipate the future by what has been reality in the past.  The books here have helped us on our journey.
