Highly recommend
Such a great resource for introduction into the high intensity crop production. Really enjoy the layout of the film as it is very direct and informative. While beautiful, the film maintains efficiency the entire time. JM doesn’t give you a lot of wasted space in this which adds to the value of this. Highly recommend.We watched 3 times in the first week as it is like drinking from a firehose.

For anyone who wants to become a profitable farmer, this is for you! Mr. Fortier explains how to become a market gardener without all of the expensive farm equipment and vast acreage I thought was mandatory to make money in farming.. I learned that I don't need a thousand acres and a big tractor to making a decent living as a farmer.. By working in plant beds arranged strategically so that you work smarter, not harder is the key to success. I thoroughly enjoyed this DVD and my husband and I have implemented some of his techniques with great success. I highly recommend this DVD as well as his book entitled "The Market Gardener".
