Market Farming

[Janet Bachmann <janetb AT ncat.org>]

If I were in this situation, I would look for an internship on a market 
farm growing vegetables or flowers or whatever you want to do eventually. 
Have you seen Lynn Byczynski's book Market Farming Success?  She gives 
some ideas of what a person might be able to make with different sized 
market gardens. 
I have been market gardening for more than a decade, our farm is paid 
for (with off-farm income).  I make enough to cover expenses, which 
include a small amount of hired labor, but not enough to pay myself.  I 
look forward to reading from other people on this question.
