I have made a good business with firewood. I live about an hour and a half
outside of Buffalo NY and I work in Buffalo. I cut up hardwood tops after
loggers are done for next to nothing. I advertise in Buffalo. So I take in
a face cord of firewood in with me on my way to work. It doubles the price
from 35 to 70. It doesn't even add that much more to my gas mileage. I am
thinking of expanding this technique to other areas like eggs, mushrooms,
produce, etc. I like the direct marketing, but don't have the time to sit
around in a farmer's market.

Figure out a way to get to the market you want to grow for, or grow for the
market you're in. Whether or not you make a living depends on market demand
for your product.

For those of you who "can't give it away", rethink your business strategy!
