Best Guide for Farming | Tiny Farm planning | Forum

Tiny Farm Forum is now running on new, hopefully vastly improved software, but there's still a lot of clean-up to do from the migration.

If you had an account, it is gone, and you will have to re-register in order to post! Sorry, I deleted all user accounts including 50,000+ spam memberships (yes, 50K!!)—I couldn't face sorting through them all!

10:55 am Wed, Jul 27, 2011 scottaleger Guest	Print this Post 1 Farming was once the chief way of life in nearly every country. People cannot live without food, and nearly all their food comes from crops and animals raised on farms. Many other materials such as cotton and wool also come from plants and animals raised on farms. Not many people farm for a living any more, but farming remains the most important occupation in the world. To know about Farming, Here are some good Books about Farming :- Organic Farming Theory and Practices Author : K. Annadurai, S.P. Palaniappan ISBN 8172335377 Modern Poultry Farming Author : Louis M. Hurd ISBN 8187421320 Organic Farming Standards, Accreditation, Certification and Inspection Author : Dushyent Gehlot ISBN 8177542370 Fish Farming Author : S.K. Dubey ISBN 9380199058 Farming Author : Cassie Mayer ISBN 140349410X Source for guide about Farming : Farming-Guide
5:58 pm Tue, Aug 16, 2011 ProduceBid.com Guest	Print this Post 2 For a new convenient way to bring your crops to market, consider the internet. This is a new platform that allows farmers and growers to sell their produce. ProduceBid.com allows you to place your produce and products online for immediate sale or you can even offer it up for auction. Check it out.

My local food

This is the local portion of what I'm currently eating. Produce is grown on the farm, except as noted. Prepared foods contain mainly local ingredients, not necessarily organic. Spring 2012:

In our field: -

Cool storage: Garlic, onions, potatoes, winter squash

Fridge: -

Freezer: Goat, grass-fed beef, spinach
Meats are purchased, local small-farm, more-or-less organic.

Dried: Hot peppers

Bottled: -
