Grow fresh, local vegetables all winter long -- and build a thriving, profitable farm that never sleeps
Discover how small-scale farmers are transforming the off-season into their most productive and profitable time of year. The Winter Market Gardener shows you exactly how to grow abundant, high-quality vegetables year-round in northern climates -- even through the darkest months.
Inside, you'll learn practical systems and proven methods for cold-season success:
- How to plan and plant for continuous harvests using crop calendars, cold-hardy varieties, and precise scheduling.
- Best shelters and tools for northern growers -- from row covers and caterpillar tunnels to efficient, low-cost greenhouses.
- Smart strategies for profitability -- extend your CSA season, supply local markets, and keep your income steady all year.
- Detailed winter crop profiles for dozens of vegetables, with cultivation and storage tips tailored to cold climates.
- Efficient workflows and soil health practices that save time, conserve resources, and boost quality.
Drawing on decades of on-farm research, experimentation, and innovation, this beautifully illustrated handbook distills the techniques developed at Quebec's renowned Ferme des Quatre-Temps and Les Jardins de la Grelinette.
Written by Jean-Martin Fortier, bestselling author of The Market Gardener (300,000+ copies sold), and Catherine Sylvestre, director of vegetable production at Ferme des Quatre-Temps, this book offers both inspiration and actionable guidance for farmers, homesteaders, and serious gardeners committed to growing through every season.
If you've ever wondered how to grow vegetables year-round, keep your markets supplied in winter, or design a resilient, climate-smart farm -- this is your field-tested roadmap.
Start building your year-round harvest today -- and turn winter into your most rewarding season yet.
