Organic farming movement pioneers Jay and Pamela North learned that it took much more than good soil, the right product and hard work to turn their small California farm into a multi-million-dollar enterprise. It took a lot of selling know-how, media savvy and inventive promotional techniques to turn their two acres into millions of dollars.

The book is dedicated to Jay's late wife and organic farming partner, Pamela North. Pamela introduced Jay to organic gardening as a way to help feed their menagerie of exotic pets and distract him from a hectic business life.

Jay writes: "For many organic growers, farming or gardening is a passion. We feel a connection to the Earth and believe it is a moral duty to protect her and provide for her. Aside from the apparently spiritual affiliation, it's just plain fun to be out in the sun playing in the dirt and watching things grow."

Reading Getting Started in Organic Gardening for Fun and Profit is also just plain fun, as well as highly informative and inspiring. It delivers on the promise of its title: It tells readers exactly how to get started in organic gardening and how to succeed in having fun and making a profit.
