Cornell University’s Northeast Beginning Farmers Project has published an extensive guide to urban farming in New York State, and it is available for free online.

The guide covers everything from raising livestock to dealing with contaminated soils, and the business angle of marketing and financing your farm. This comprehensive guide goes beyond the nitty gritty techniques to maximize your land’s production to a section about community outreach and planning. A must-read for the new and experienced urban farmer alike.
