Eliot Coleman
Eliot has nearly 40 years of experience in all aspects of
organic farming, including field vegetables, greenhouse
vegetables, rotational grazing of cattle and sheep, and
range poultry. He is the author of The New Organic Grower
(Chelsea Green, 1989, revised, expanded second edition,
1995), Four Season Harvest (Chelsea Green, 1992, revised,
expanded second edition, 1999) and the Winter Harvest
Manual. He has contributed chapters to three scientific
books on organic agriculture and has written extensively on
the subject since 1975. He also wrote the foreword to
Keeping Food Fresh: Old World Techniques and Recipes (1999),
by the gardeners and farmers of Terre Vivant. During his careers as a commercial market gardener, the
director of agricultural research projects, and as a teacher
and lecturer on organic gardening he has studied, practiced
and perfected his craft. He served for two years as the
Executive Director of the International Federation of
Organic Agriculture Movements and was an advisor to the US
Department of Agriculture during their landmark 1979-80
study, Report and Recommendations on Organic Farming. He has conducted study tours of organic farms, market
gardens, orchards, and vineyards in Europe and has
successfully combined European ideas with his own to develop
and popularize a complete system of tools and equipment for
organic vegetable growers. He shares that expertise through
his lectures and writings, and has served as a tool
consultant to a number of companies. He presently consults
and designs tools for Johnny's Selected Seeds.
