   This was a good introduction for new entrepreneurs interested in starting a small farm business. It didn't go too deeply into any one subject, but I thought the scope of topics covered was excellent. She's provided an overview of everything that a small farm start-up needs to consider to dot all the i's and cross all the t's.

   Useful for us, starting our own CSA, but nothing groundbreaking.
