Eliot
Coleman is one of America's leading practitioners of organic gardening
and farming. He has pioneered a "plant-positive" approach to horticulture
that surpasses chemical-dependent agriculture in every way—producing
vegetables that are exceptionally nutritious, delicious, and healthy.
His books include The
New Organic Grower and Four-Season
Harvest. With his wife Barbara Damrosch he farms in Harborside, Maine,
on land that was part of the homestead of Helen and Scott Nearing.
