Dung Beetles & a Cowman’s Profits
Dung beetles have always been nature’s greatest recyclers – in a way, they were the first organic farmers. They were also the first casualties of industrial farming. As farmers rediscover the many benefits of grass-based livestock production, dung beetles are given a solid shot at reestablishing their rightful place on the farm and ranch. Charles Walters digs deep into modern science and ancient history, traditional folklore and the best practical advice to resurrect the lowly dung beetle, exposing farmers and ranchers – and anyone with a desire to work more closely with nature – to this amazing creature. Meet the world’s leading scientists and farmer/researchers who have dedicated years to understanding the roles, actions and value of dung beetles in bringing a grazing operation into compliance with nature’s laws, and then harvest the profits. Anyone interested in organic forms of farming will be enchanted by the intriguing tale of the dung beetle.

In the Shadow of Green Man: My Journey from Poverty and Hunger to Food Security and Hope
“My parents couldn’t read or write, we barely had clothes to wear. All we had were stories. We listened and absorbed them, and found our own place in the narrative.”
And what a narrative it is. Join the wonderfully colorful and poetic Reginaldo Haslett-Marroquin, or Regi, as he weaves together stories from his upbringing in revolution-torn Guatemala, the vision of a regenerative form of farming which uplifts people, and the wandering fable of the Green Man. The result is an immensely readable, enjoyable journey that informs as it entertains and enlightens.
Witnessing firsthand the human suffering caused by unjust and environmentally destructive farming practices set Regi on a path of helping people lift themselves through, of all things, tapping the natural behaviors of the lowly chicken. With the mind of an engineer, the passion of minister, and the depth of a philosopher the author has created not only a wonderful yarn, but a book for our generation asking the questions and providing many of the answers needed by millions.
The author is the principal architect of the innovative poultrycentered regenerative agriculture model that is at the heart of Main Street Project’s work. His focus is on the development of multi-level strategies for building regenerative food and agriculture systems that deliver social, economic and ecological benefits.

The Adult Manual: Everything You Were Supposed to Learn but Didn’t
If adulthood feels heavier than it should, this is why.The Adult Manual is not a guide to self-optimisation, reinvention, or getting ahead. Itis a calm, precise explanation of why so many capable adults feel permanentlystretched, quietly anxious, and unsure why life feels harder than promised.No one ever explains the systems you are expected to live inside. Money is treatedas a moral test instead of a structure. Health becomes extreme rather thansustainable. Work rewards burnout and calls it ambition. Relationships blur care withover-responsibility. When these systems strain, most people assume the problem ispersonal.It is not.Written with clarity rather than hype, The Adult Manual names what has beenhappening beneath the surface and gives language to experiences many peoplecarry in silence. Across four grounded sections – money, health, work, andrelationships – the book removes unnecessary pressure without removingresponsibility. It does not tell you to quit, escape, or start over. Instead, it shows whystability matters more than intensity, why maintenance is not failure, and why ease isnot the same as laziness.This is a book for people who are competent and tired. For those who did what theywere told and still feel like they never quite arrived. For readers who don’t needmotivation but orientation.If you have ever felt like everyone else received instructions you missed, this book isthat conversation – Honest.

The newfound interest in heritage breeds of chicken has created a unique opportunity for small farmers to reintroduce consumers to other types of poultry.

From geese to quail to peahens to turkeys, Klober discusses the pros and cons of each and how to best fit an alternative poultry venture into your farming operation. Filled with humorous personal anecdotes and practical advice on feeding, housing, pricing and marketing, this book is a must-read for the small farmer interested in an alternative to the ever-present white egg-laying chicken or any lover of poultry.

The Waste Between Our Ears
Our human custodianship of the planet is not going well. According to Scientific American, we have only sixty years of farming seasons left because we have degraded soils through industrial agriculture and the overuse of chemicals.
The World Wildlife Fund says we have wiped out 60 percent of all mammals, birds, fish, and reptiles since 1970.
Chemical destruction of biological processes poisons our soils, our air, and our water. The mishandling of waste is a lost opportunity to repair much of this desecration.
If waste were collected as source-separated products, more than half of it could be returned to soils as quality compost and biological products. A very large percentage of the remainder could be recycled, remanufactured, and reused.
This book is about how this reduction of waste is being achieved in some parts of the world and how we could do it globally if we could only think differently.
We need to change our minds about waste, because the only place waste exists is between our ears. Waste is a concept derived from lazy thinking and twisted economics. We need to reconnect our organic waste to local soils and our wasted resources to local jobs.
