I do not garden at a commercial level although we do sell some of the produce. I garden at Niles Home for Children in Kansas City, MO. We have 28, 4X30 foot organic no-till beds. I think that this kind of gardening is less work if you use lots of straw and mulch a lot to keep down weeds. Ruth Stout, Masanobu Fukuoka and Findhorn Garden are an inspiration. Below is a link to a workshop video of Patrice Gros of Foundation Farm explaining how he farms commercially using no till methods. I hope this helps.

Do you do it at a commercial level? Ie, are you selling at least some
of your produce from no-till gardening? If yes, what would be the pros
and cons of this approach for a market farmer?
No-till is something I am interested in, but all the permaculture and
no-till book I have heard about are written with the home-scale gardener
in mind. I would love to hear about those practicing it on a surface
over an acre, and see if it is feasible at that scale.
