I know this board includes lots of people who make a living from farming and lots who do it as a hobby or 2nd income. I would love to hear from anyone who has suggetions on how to earn a little extra income on our 40 acres.
The goal is maybe two to three thousand dollars a year in net income. We do have a 50HP tractor and some tillage equipment.
We are located in central to northern Georgia (about 30 miles south of Atlanta). Pretty much all of the land is tillable and is currently in mixed grass/native pasture.
Some things I"ve thought about are gourmet garlics with possibly trying to market directly to restaurants; Sweet potatoes grow real well and easily in our area but I think you"d have grow an awful lot of them to get much return; We grow great melons in our area but without irrigation probably not possible;
I just want to hear ideas from the rest of you because there may be a ton of things I haven"t even thought about.
