Aimed at farmers and homesteaders transitioning to organic methods, this guide to whole-farm planning and management is part of an eight volume series (available individually and as a set) originally published by the Northeast Organic Farming Association in 2004. Coverage includes assessment; management of people, money, and physical and mental assets; goal setting; decision making which considers all variables; choosing appropriate tools and systems; and testing decisions and monitoring results. Examples of business plans and goal statements from working farms are provided along with resources for holistic approaches to farming.
