Gene's Books The Contrary FarmerGene Logsdon combines vegetable gardening, raising livestock, pastures, grains and woodlots to create "cottage farming" for fun and profit. Logsdon's ebullient sense of humor and devotion to the land are apparent through stories and anecdotes about contrary farming.  Good SpiritsA New Look at Ol' Demon AlcoholGene brings us back to the history, traditions, and pleasures of small-scale, do-it-yourself alcohol.  Living at Nature's PaceFarming & the American DreamThe Contrary Farmer revisits the state of farming in America with good sense and regret for what might have been. Along the way, he gives us good pointers for getting back to an authentic way of living in harmony with the Earth.  Small-Scale Grain RaisingAn Organic Guide to Growing, Processing, and Using Nutritious Whole Grains for Home Gardeners and Local FarmersMore and more Americans are seeking out locally grown foods, yet one of the real stumbling blocks to their efforts has been finding local sources for grains, which are grown mainly on large, distant corporate farms. At the same time, commodity prices for grains—and the products made from them—have skyrocketed due to rising energy costs and increased demand. In this book, Gene Logsdon proves that anyone who has access to a large garden or small farm can (and should) think outside the agribusiness box and learn to grow healthy whole grains or beans—the base of our culinary food pyramid—alongside their fruits and vegetables. |
