Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: SPIN Farming

[Fred H Olson (fholson]

As list manager I debated whether to approve
Richart Keller's "SPIN Farming" post. I'd never heard of the term and
still dont know how relevant it is to how many cohousing groups.
I did look it up on the web and thought I'd summarize my findings.

SPIN Farming stands for S-mall P-lot IN-tensive
o under one acre

o it says it is a franchise like operation that provides
  information and guidance.

o "Its precise revenue targeting formulas and organic-based techniques
   make it possible to gross $50,000+ from a half- acre."

o They charge $12 for each for 7 pdf's with information ($84 for 7)
  $20/each for 6 others.

My gardening wife's first reaction is that it is sounds like a rip off.
Most info is probably available elsewhere free.

Hence Richart's question (if anyone has actually tried it).
