People get caught up in terminology, so "small scale farming" may be a better fit. I appreciate your post and the discussion because of an interest in this. Having 98 some odd acres that most has been idle a very long time, 60 that was tillable, the rest in woodland or what was pasture, one wood lot of 10 acres is mature. I have some good topsoil in an area some now consider marginal. Well, that marginal ground has been farmed for a very long time. We also have a substantial aquifer, a 20 acre pond. The land is connected with frontage on an extremely busy 2 lane state highway that is one of the few routes to the east. I own enough equipment at this time to get started, but also know the risks. I work a full time job about 7 miles away, one that pays well, but is becoming a real bucket of stress at times. I know better than to make a move unless it's on solid ground. I have the tax liability already, so I need to do something to balance that and or better. I have a section that is now zoned light commercial, so in essence, the canvas is there, just need to figure out what to paint on it.
