- Summary
- "Logsdon reminds us that healthy, economical agriculture must work "at nature's pace" rather than trying to impose industrial order on the natural world. Foreseeing a future with "more farmers, not fewer," he looks for workable models among the Amish, among his lifelong neighbors in Ohio, and among resourceful urban gardeners and a new generation of definitely unorthodox organic growers creating an innovative farmers-market economy in every region of the country."--BOOK JACKET.
