A practical, systems-based approach for a more sustainable farming operation To many people today, using the words "factory" and "farm" in the same sentence is nothing short of sacrilege. In many cases, though, the same sound business practices apply whether you are producing cars or carrots. Author Ben Hartman and other young farmers are increasingly finding that incorporating the best new ideas from business into their farming can drastically cut their wastes and increase their profits, making their farms more environmentally and economically sustainable. By explaining the lean system for identifying and eliminating waste and introducing efficiency in every aspect of the farm operation, Th...
The farm is a fun and interesting place to work and learn. Farmer Ben will show you how he works on his farm.
The Resilient Farm and Homestead is a manual for developing durable, beautiful, and highly functional human habitat systems fit to handle an age of rapid transition. Ben Falk is a land designer and site developer whose permaculture-research farm has drawn national attention. The site is a terraced paradise on a hillside in Vermont that would otherwise be overlooked by conventional farmers as unworthy farmland. Falk's wide array of fruit trees, rice paddies (relatively unheard of in the Northeast), ducks, nuts, and earth-inspired buildings is a hopeful image for the future of regenerative agriculture and modern homesteading. The book covers nearly every strategy Falk and his team have been te...
"I want to get rid of as many of those vermin as I can before I die," says Ben Farmer. He's as worn as an old truss—and twice as weak with cancer—but the fire in his eyes is as hot as Clint Adams has ever seen it. Farmer wants the Gunsmith to ride with his handpicked posse, gut-shooting all the outlaws and murderers the law couldn't stop. Clint Adams ain't no vigilante.

She's one hellacious inferno of an old flame, and she's led the Gunsmith on more than one hard-riding adventure. Is Ben Farmer's offer all that it seems...or is there something unsavory waiting around the proverbial corner? The Gunsmith can't wait to find out...

Simply riveting” (Keith Donohue, New York Times–bestselling author). “Based on the poem of the same name by Longfellow, Evangeline tells the story of the Great Upheaval, the forcible removal of the French Catholic Acadians from their lands in present-day Nova Scotia by the British. . . . Life is breathed into this tragic historical event by showing how it affected the lives of individuals, most particularly Evangeline and Gabriel, young lovers separated on the night before their wedding” (Historical Novel Society). Heartbroken but determined, Evangeline—along with illegal trapper B...
