You may know JM Fortier for his international bestseller The Market Gardener. But long before the book, there was the farm.
With over 20 years of hands-on experience, JM has lived the daily reality of small-scale farming, from prepping his very first beds with a broadfork to creating a model farm that now inspires growers around the world.
With limited resources at that time, he had to test and trial many techniques to find the right ones!
Each season brought insights that shaped his unique approach to farming.
Choosing simplicity over scale, focusing on soil health, and staying true to a clear vision to get globally recognized.
Since launching his bestseller book “The Market Gardener, A Successful Grower’s Handbook for Small-Scale Organic Farming” in 2012, JM Fortier has been internationally recognized as a foremost expert in the field of biointensive farming and has spoken at hundreds of conferences, keynote addresses, and training sessions, becoming an inspiration for farmers worldwide.
His current mission is to pass on this knowledge to thousands of farmers through his work at the Market Gardener Institute.
