Testimonials

I regard Acres U.S.A. as the most valuable farming magazine in the world. It is always at the cutting edge of agricultural systems with technical information that you will not find in other publications. Very importantly for me are the real world examples from farmers and the various systems that they use. Applying this information has made a great difference to the productivity of my farm. I have been subscribing to Acres for around 20 years and look forward to receiving my copy every month. ”

André Leu, Farmer, Author, Regeneration International

“Acres U.S.A. has always been an island of strength and stability amidst raging waters. If you think back to the beginnings of chemical agriculture in the 1850s it was nearly a century before that method truly stormed the world. What Rudolf Steiner initiated in response to chemical agriculture in 1924 is similarly slow in emerging as a truly scientific method, but it is emerging and may very well “go viral” in a similar time frame. If it does so it will be because of such efforts as Acres U.S.A., and it won’t be driven by huge chemical conglomerates, it will be driven by grassroots farmers.”

Hugh Lovel, Consultant, Speaker, Author

“Acres U.S.A. is the world’s leading forum for ecological food and agriculture. This magazine is not afraid to print the unspeakable and dares to challenge the most entrenched paradigms of conventional scientific thought. A true masterpiece.”
