"Your book is great! I was interviewing Suzie at Salem Farms (profiled in the book) and she mentioned your book so I got a copy and loved it. You have a very conversational writing style and, as someone who owned a business for 15 years, your advice is right on target--very realistic."
- Going-Local blogger, Victoria Wesseler in Indiana.



1 out of 5 stars Wasted my money   March 29, 2010

A waste of my commode quality time. Where's the farming part. This book is good for one thing:Making money to put the authors kids through college on the profits. Buy one of those good real estate get rich money making books/programs marketed at four in the morning to loosers instead of this book. Your money will be better spent. The system would not let me give the book no stars or I would have. Other than that, I loved it! It will help get a fire going in the old buck stove this winter in KY.
