So I’m seriously considering becoming a small scale farmer and have been researching many avenues of profitable farming. I know a decent amount about business and landscaping but don’t want to do that for a side income. I really want to farm but have limited space (about a usable acre). I love being outside and have a fair amount of time outside of the regular schedule that I could commit to this trade. I’m seriously considering exotic mushrooms (the legal ones folks), lavender, specialty garlic, willow varieties, and tomatoes. Has anyone had success in these areas or does anyone have insight? All I’ve been researching points to the dramatic needs of small scale farming and if I can get it going I could try to phase out of the day job or just make a great side income. Stories or insights please. I’m in zone 7.
