“Updated for its 30th anniversary edition; [This book] remains as relevant as ever.”―New York Times Book Review

Now fully illustrated and updated, this 30th Anniversary Edition is a must-have for any agricultural library.
Eliot Coleman’s books and innovative methods have helped innumerable organic farmers build successful farms in deep accordance with nature. The wisdom in this seminal book holds true even as the modern agricultural canon has grown―in large part due to Coleman’s influence as a wise elder with decades of experience. New information has been included in this edition to showcase the new tools and techniques that Eliot has been developing over the last thirty-five years.

The New Organic Grower is ideal for young farmers just getting started, or gardeners seeking to expand into a more productive enterprise.
