Profitable winter market gardening - the complete practical guide to growing vegetables year-round in northern climates for local markets.

Many small farms shut down during the dark winter months. Yet with the right techniques, equipment and cultivars, year-round growing can produce the highest quality and tastiest fresh local vegetables, all while banking a profit.

Building on years of research, experimentation, and collaboration, The Winter Market Gardener is a beautifully illustrated practical guide to winter vegetable production for small farmers growing in northern climates. Coverage includes:

Unique aspects of year-round vegetable production, including superior flavour and the promotion of seasonality in eating
Dozens of detailed vegetable profiles featuring recommended cultivars and crop-specific tips and techniques for bountiful winter harvests
Details for calculating optimal seeding dates, crop spacing, care, pest management, weed control and harvesting
Selecting shelters for your crops and climate, including row covers, low tunnels, caterpillar tunnels, and high tunnels
The costs and benefits of heated versus unheated greenhouses
Tool selection and use for efficiency
Winter storage crops and successful autumn growing
Crop planning details for winter-season production.

Whether you are an experienced farmer or market grower, enthusiastic amateur, or committed consumer, The Winter Market Gardener will excite, inspire and empower you to embrace the seasons and work with nature to produce and enjoy superior-quality local vegetables all year.
