If you’re thinking that a microfarm can support your entire family, you’d better change the plan to a macrofarm, because that’s unlikely to happen. It is better to think of microfarming as an enhancement to what income you already have, and that’s why I recommend it for retirees, people who work from home already (like writers), or entrepreneurs who will use the microfarm to supply the basic goods for food products they manufacture.
