About the UC Small Farm Center Online Library

The UC Small Farm Center Online Library is an effort by the UC Small Farm Center to increase user access to useful information that impacts the performance of our small farms. This database consists of summaries and abstracts of articles on a range of topics from production to marketing and farm management. Users can browse by information category or search for a specific topic by simply typing in a keyword in the keyword entry space.

If you would like a complete copy of an article after reading the abstract, fill out the online request form. The Small Farm Center will then send you the article by fax or mail. Until we are able to assess demand and usage costs, there is no charge for copying, mailing, and faxing.
