Women are leading the new farming revolution in America. Much of the impetus to move back to the land， raise our own food， and connect with our agricultural past is being driven by women. They raise sheep for wool， harvest honey from their beehives， and sell their goods at farmers' markets. What does a woman who wants to work the land need to do to follow her dream? First， she needs this book. Audrey Levatino shares her experiences of running a farm with her husband and offers invaluable advice on how to get started. She helps readers identify their goals and suggests how to go about achieving them. Filled with personal anecdotes and stories from other women farmers， the book is a reassuring and inspirational guide that discusses： * Should you do an internship or jump right in? * What tends to sell at the farmers' market and what does not * Chores and how to get them done right * How to handle large power tools It's all here， in the same warm and friendly voice that readers embraced in The Joy of Hobby Farming. Audrey Levatino has been farming for thirteen years. For the last eight she has been growing specialty cut flowers and selling them at local farmers' markets, florists, restaurants, and for weddings. She and her husband, Michael, are the authors of The Joy of Hobby Farming. They care for crops and a menagerie of animals on their 23-acre farm, Ted's Last Stand, near Gordonsville, Virginia. Michael Levatino works off the farm at a major publishing house, and is the co-author of The Joy of Hobby Farming His twenty-three-acre farm, Ted's Last Stand, is located outside of Gordonsville, Virginia.,,,
