Summary
Have you ever desired, deep within your soul, to make a comfortable full-time living from a farming enterprise? Too often people dare not even vocalize this desire because it seems absurd. It's like thinking the unthinkable.
After all, the farm population is dwindling. It takes too much capital to start. The pay is too low. The working conditions are dusty, smelly and noisy: Not the place to raise a family. This is all true, and more, for most farmers.
But for farm entrepreneurs, the opportunities for a farm family business have never been greater. The aging farm population is creating cavernous niches begging to be filled by creative visionaries who will go in dynamic new directions. As the industrial agriculture complex crumbles and our culture clambers for clean food, the countryside beckons anew with profitable farming opportunities.
While this audiobook can be helpful to all farmers, it targets the wannabes, the folks who actually entertain notions of living, loving and learning on a piece of land. Anyone willing to dance with such a dream should be able to assess its assets and liabilities; its fantasies and realities. "Is it really possible for me?" is the burning question this audiobook addresses.
You Can Farm is wonderfully narrated by the author, Joel Salatin, who co-owns (with his family) Polyface Farm in Swoope, Virginia.

Great entrepreneurial book for farmers
I remember my dad going into all sorts of ventures and failing at them unfortunately at our small farm. I think he did not have the right discipline that an entrepreneur requires. Having read this book I can see where he could have done better. Unfortunately for me I have moved away from a small farm mentality but on occasions it comes back to me thinking that it would be great to have a pasture for chickens or a few acres of woodland for bees. Having read this book, I now know my limits and possibilities. It is a great read.

This'll get you exited to get started
I recently bought a patch of land and can't wait to get started farming. This book will get you thinking about what decisions to make now, which to delay, which ones to leave all together. It'll get you familiar with what to expect and make you wonder whether or not this life is for you at all.
I suggest starting here before reading anything else going deeper into farming specifics.

Definitively heart warming and inspirational
I chose to listen to this book to discover if farming is a potential future for me and for that it helped immensely. Even if you’re not that interested in farming but aspire to self employed this is still worth listening to. Plus Joel voice will cheer you up whatever mood you’re in.
