It's been a little while since we've sent out news. But we've been busy.

New old Acres U.S.A. officeWe spent the summer moving our offices for
the first time since 1999 and are now in a renovated 1923 dry goods
store in Austin, Texas. If you're ever in the area feel free to stop by.
Having more space allows us to stock even more hard-to-find books on
ecological farming. Everything is online now

but we're also mailing our new winter book catalog in the next few days.

The Acres U.S.A. Conference is Near

/"The Acres U.S.A. Conference is the most important farming conference

presentations there is a world of knowledge at your disposal.

refine your farming operation, or reinvent your farming enterprise, this
conference is where you'll meet innovative farmers from across the
country and around the world, find new inspiration, and come home with
an action plan.
