Book Description
Publication Date: February 1, 2011
To ensure food security and restore the health of the planet, we need to 
move beyond industrial agriculture and return to the practice of 
small-scale, local farming. Bioshelter Market Garden: A Permaculture 
Farm describes the creation of a sustainable food system through a 
detailed case study of the successful year-round organic market garden 
and permaculture design at Pennsylvania's Three Sisters Farm.

At the heart of Three Sisters is its bioshelter—a solar greenhouse that 
integrates growing facilities, poultry housing, a potting room, storage, 
kitchen facilities, compost bins, a reference library, and classroom 
area. Bioshelter Market Garden examines how the bioshelter promotes 
greater biodiversity and is an energy-efficient method of extending crop 
production through Pennsylvania's cold winter months.

Both visionary and practical, this fully illustrated book contains a 
wealth of information on the application of permaculture principles. 
Some of the topics covered include:

Design and management of an intensive market garden farm
Energy systems and biothermal resources
Ecological soil management and pest control
Wetlands usage
Solar greenhouse design and management
Whatever your gardening experience and ambitions, this comprehensive 
manual is sure to inform and inspire.
