You’re going to have the perfect set-up for growing for profit! I enjoyed my days working with my In-Laws when we sold to restaurants and did a Farmers Market on Saturdays and sometimes Wednesdays if we had extra produce to unload. My ‘Honor System’ Farm Stand at my other farm was a success as well. Never was ripped off.

I’m glad we’re living in a time when locally grown and fresh is a Big Deal. I’ve read that Herbs (of all kinds) get you the most dollar for your efforts, with salad greens and tomatoes right up there, too.

It wasn’t unusual for us to make $3K on a Saturday selling Raspberries. Of course, that was five, 8-hour days of MIL and I picking, but it was good, honest work and we got a lot of the world’s problems solved while we picked in long rows, face to face all day. :)

Look who showed up at the feeder, yesterday! Mr. Red-Breasted Grosbeak. Spring is officially here! If all goes as usual, the Orioles will be next, then the Hummingbirds.
