Greenhorns Guidebook on Cooperative Farming
In 2014, the Greenhorns published a guidebook called Cooperative Farming: Frameworks for Farming Together. It is all farming as a coop and covers different coop models and management systems. The book features a number of actual coop farms including Tourne-Sol.
You can download the book from the Greenhorns or from SARE.
