Chinese Medicinal Herb Farm

Peg Schaefer is leading the movement to transition to organic home cultivation of Chinese medicinal herbs. Due to heightened concerns about the quality of imported products and a renewed interest in local medicine, locally and organically grown herbs are increasingly in demand. Until now, however, producers had little information.
The Chinese Medicinal Herb Farmer is the first manual of its kind to contain tips for growing and harvesting seventy-nine herb profiles-all of which have been tested and tried on Schaefer’s certified farm. Readers will find information on growing effective, wild-growing herbs, strategies for integrating crops into gardens, cultivation with species conservation in mind, traditional medicinal and culinary uses, and more.

We from naturmed think: This book is also for farmers interested in adding value-added crops to their repertoire, and for homesteaders looking to incorporate medicinal plants into their gardens, this book is an invaluable source of information for growing your own medicine.
