Have you seen this 1-acre Vermont farm? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cT6O-4zbP6E I'm not a farmer so I can't speak to how much of this is unreproducible, but it does seem very interesting. The paper pot transplanter blew my mind. | ||

"We produced $250k worth of food last year. We sell most of it wholesale, so we don't get a terribly high price for it." The title says they make $13k per week, which would be $676k... so $13k must be just during the weeks they produce. And it seems to be based on the grocery-store price of that food, rather than the actual wholesale price that they're able to sell it for. I wanted to watch at least enough to understand how the title is misleading. If two people could make $13k/week on an acre there would be a hell of a lot more people doing it. It's still cool though, they've clearly worked hard and made great use of their land. | ||
