How to create a successful and sustainable business. Veteran dairy-goat farmer Janet Hurst combines her knowledge of

life and farmers' markets with her hard-won experience turning farm products into a living wage. Hurst guides you through every type of market available to small farmers. How to develop a realistic marketing plan, the food laws and regulations you'll need to be aware of, and insider tips on how to be a successful businessperson.
