Farming and Flourishing on Sixty Acres Steve Elzinga

Do you want to buy land and begin farming? Need some tips on growing fruit and financing your business? If so, this is an essential book. Steve Elzinga shares thirty-six years of experience growing apples, peaches, and blueberries and marketing them on his farm. Erie Orchards made the shift from a small operation to a booming entertainment center that now attracts 100,000 customers a year. It offers pony rides and hayrides, a children's playscape, a petting zoo, a corn maze, and you-pick fruits, disproving the notion that small farms can't survive and prosper. This book is a treasure trove of useful information for anyone starting a business as well as the aspiring farmer.
