Gardening – For a profit
Q: I have no farming experience, except my 25 by 25 foot garden. Is it possible to be a hobby farmer working the farm only one day a week, and produce enough to make the effort worth while?
What is your advice?
A: If you want to make a profit, you have to find a crop that has a high value to labor ratio.
There are very few that fit that bill. You should attend meetings of Georgia Organics to get some of their ideas.
