توضیحات
Most market gardens don’t lose money on the whole farm. They lose it on one or two crops.Those crops look busy and popular, and they hide inside a budget that adds everything together. A bed of pumpkins can lose money year after year while the season as a whole still feels fine.Market Garden Profit Planner is a planning method for small direct-sale vegetable growers who already know how to grow and now need the numbers. It treats the bed as the unit of business: one bed, one crop, one page. Every crop gets a twelve-line budget. Every crop is ranked by profit per bed-week, so a six-week salad crop and a 36-week garlic crop can be compared fairly. The whole season plan is built from those pages over one winter.One fictional garden, Fennick Rows, runs through every chapter: 60 permanent beds on about 0.9 acre (0.36 ha), a weekly market stall, a 30-member box scheme, four restaurants and shops, and one part-time seasonal worker. You see each formula worked in full on its numbers, then answer the “Your Numbers” questions with your own.Inside you will learn how to:- Measure your ground: beds, paths and cropped area, with conversions between feet, meters, square feet and acres without mistakes- Read your market before you order seed and set a sales ceiling for each crop- Score candidate crops on demand, price, labour peak and failure risk, and decide when to keep a low-profit crop that brings customers in- Fill in the One-Page Crop Budget line by line, from seed and packaging to labour hours, marketable share and revenue- Rank twelve crops by profit per bed-week, from salad greens and radish to onions, tomatoes and overwintered garlic- Plan successions backward from the harvest date your market wants, using your own frost dates and days to maturity- Build a weekly labour calendar, find the peak weeks and move sowings to flatten them- Price from real costs: the cost floor per pound, bunch, head or bag, box shares and restaurant orders, in any currency- Forecast cash flow month by month, list start-up costs and find break-even in beds, boxes and market days- Keep a harvest and waste log, measure variance and run the season review in an afternoon- Check what to verify before you sell in the USA, the EU and the UK: labels, hygiene, stall permits and insurance- Make a kill list: drop the weakest crops and calculate what the freed beds earn insteadMeasurements are given in both US and metric units. Fennick’s numbers are illustrative, not benchmarks: the method is what you take to your own groundThis book is general information, not legal, tax or financial advice
