Hi Everyone,
I have been reading all of the posts on making a profit from
farming. Although we are not just a vegetable farm, we do have a 50 milk
cow dairy farm, we are expanding into berries and veggies with a roadside
stand. Although we have not made close to what would constitute a living
for a family of 5, I too like Liz can not imagine doing anything else. We
have steadily seen our business grow during the last few years, by leaps and
bounds. I don't know where that will take us, we will have to wait and
see.
It is true...Where there is a will there is a way. My
husband and I do all of our farm work, we have not help, except for our girls
who are still young. It is very hard work, but so rewarding.
Whenever I visit my family in the city, I am reminded of hw wonderful farm life
can be. Yes, there have been many many times I have wondered how the bills
would get paid, but they always have.
I am beginning to wonder after reading all of the posts, if we
are making a mistake to widen our horizon into vegetables, and
berries.

Thanks to all of you for all the wonderful insght. I am
still a beginner in all of this. I appreciate being a part of this
