With low-tech, high-yield production methods they’ve
developed, inspired by the French intensive tradition and
by iconic American vegetable grower Eliot Coleman, Fortier
shows by example how to start a market garden and make
it both very profitable and very productive.

and at the same time enjoy delicious food that benefits our
