"Pests and disease are not enemies, they are indicators. I can either pay
attention to their message, or I can kill the messenger."

In 2003, Four Season Farm grossed $100,000 on just an acre and a half of
ground, including 12,500 sq ft under cover. Now both in their sixties,
every year Coleman and Damrosch reevaluate "each crop's profit and pain

return $1.50/sq ft for two months to be worth growing.
