Acres U.S.A. is a family-owned business that's been a leading voice for eco-agriculture for more than 35 years. When you purchase from us you are supporting small enterprise and ecological publishing.
    We are a real company, not a new "virtual" company which takes orders and then passes them on to someone else for fulfillment. We don't drop ship. We are not a storefront for a big company financed by debt or an overhyped stock market. We inventory and ship every order ourselves. We answer our own phones. And every book you see here is normally in the next room ready to promptly send to you. We are eager to help you in your search for eco-knowledge.
    Thank you,
        Fred C. Walters, Publisher
