Acres U.S.A. is the only national magazine that offers a comprehensive guide to sustainable agriculture. Drawing on knowledge accumulated in more than 35 years of continuous publication, we bring our readers the latest techniques for growing bountiful, nutritious crops and healthy, vibrant livestock. A glance at any issue is enough to see why sustainable farming -- we call it eco-agriculture because it's both ecological and economical -- represents the real revolution in scientific food cultivation.
Based on the work of scientists and farmers whose sophisticated approach to agriculture reveals chemical farming as obsolete and misguided, Acres U.S.A. shows its readers how to embrace the science of nature. Rather than batter nature into submission with bizarre chemistry that short-circuits natural processes, sustainable farmers feed the soil and bring it into balance. They gently coax nature into yielding her bounty, and they are rewarded with superior crops and lower input costs. Acres U.S.A. has helped thousands of farmers feed the nation's growing appetite for clean, delicious food and make a profit while they're at it. Farmers who practice eco-agriculture don't need enormous bank loans to float the cost of expensive chemical inputs and excessively complex equipment.
Our readers rely on the information they find in Acres U.S.A. Most of every issue is written by people who practice what they preach -- farmers, consultants, vets and researchers with years of experience in the science of sustainable farming. A typical article doesn't spend a lot of time on theory. Instead you will find practical, hands-on information you can immediately put to work on your farm or garden.

The Cornucopia Institute

The Cornucopia Institute is dedicated to the fight for economic justice for the family-scale farming community. Through research, advocacy, and economic development our goal is to empower farmers both politically and through marketplace initiatives. The Organic Integrity Project acts as a corporate watchdog assuring that no compromises to the credibility of organic farming methods and the food it produces are made in the pursuit of profit. We will actively resist regulatory rollbacks and the weakening of organic standards to protect and maintain consumer
confidence in the organic food label.

The Garden Path Centre

Check them out online!

Since 1990 we have been a plant nursery and display garden advocating for organic gardening, greater food self-sufficiency and seed saving. The nursery closed in 2006 to focus on the production of 'Seeds of Victoria' (certified organic IOPA 1406), educational books and programmes which support the 'Grow Your Own Food' movement.

In 2009, we become an educational Centre offering events, demonstrations and workshops presented by local experts and educators.
