Comments from readers:
"I hold a Business Degree in Marketing--Master'
"Just bought your book--took it with me while visiting another farm, and couldn't get it back from her; so I need another one. From what I've read so far, it's definitely worth paying twice for."
"I've read everything out there on marketing. If you saw my library, it would make your head spin. It's nice to read something pertaining to farming.....
"I'm reading Ellie's new farm marketing book right now and it's TERRIFIC! I'm learning soooo much (no wonder I've never been able to sell anything)."
"This is a much-needed book. As more people go back to the land, they need
to be able to handle the business challenges of running a farm."
"I was one of the people who proofread Marketing Farm Products and it is AWESOME! In fact, I'm ordering copies hot off the press for several of my friends. I can truly say I learned something new on almost every page and I'll be using Ellie's principles to sell my Storey goat book as well as several titles I plan to self-publish. If you sell anything--any sort of home-based product at all, honestly, you NEED this book. It's much, MUCH better than any other sales or marketing book I've ever read."
