Market Gardening, Mini-farming, Mini-ranching
The information contained here is provided to promote raised bed agriculture (rba) and
minifarming. My emphasis is on using organic and biointensive growing
methods to achieve more production with smaller acreage.
Mini-Agriculture Benefits Your Community
Whether for job training, crime prevention, school gardens or the mentally or physically disabled, urban agriculture has a proven track record for improving the quality of our communities. Vacant lots and land are
everywhere in our country, land which can be used for food
production, waste recycling, garden areas and beautification of our
cities.
Minifarming Commercial Applications
Through free enterprise and micro-entrepreneurship both urban and rural mini-agriculture applications have been proven to produce substantial income on surprisingly small acreage. There is unlimited opportunity in mini-agriculture whether rural or
urban. Mini-agriculture can provide a comfortable income, a quality
lifestyle, a great service to the community and it's a great way to
raise kids. One woman took a one week course, went to Alaska,
prepared the land and sold $20,000 worth of vegetables and then
had six months of vacation. A couple in Midland, Texas, grossed
$14,000 from one and a half acres.
Revolutionary Agriculture in Action
Ken has taught minifarming and miniranching to groups around the globe. Throughout Africa, South America and in the United States he continues to teach techniques of organic biointensive raised bed agriculture and market gardening.
"On foreign trips, I take with
me a set of hand tools which a blacksmith can copy. Most of the these tools, the students have never seen."
Please feel free to copy and distribute these pages to encourage mini-agriculture, but copy them without any
changes in respect for other's work.
When requesting further information, please let us know if you have already reviewed the material available here.
We welcome your comments on the usefulness of the information presented.
I am available to teach organic biointensive raised-bed gardening, mini-farming, or mini-ranching anywhere in this
country or in any country in the world at any time. I can set up a program and/or teach a course that is
classroom and hands-on with most time in the garden, on the mini-farm or mini-ranch.
