I’ve been looking at the cost to buy a farm and how much it could earn. Being disabled, I’d need to design it around my health but I think you can make it managable quite easily. Most of my ideas are already shown to work, so I wouldn’t be doing anything that would be considered ground-breaking.

The other benefit to running a small farm is it makes it far easier to pivot, you reduce problems of water droughts, etc… but if done right, i wwas working out if you can get through the first year for crops to get established, you could be making £50k a year fairly comfortably.

Aim for perennials, so you reduce the need to seed each year, grow a wide variety, you have a good basis for opening a small farm shop. Setup pre-orders so people can order, then all you pick is whats ordered. Tie in with other local farmers, build the farmos software to track cost/prices and you could even create a pick your own farm to reduce labour.

I really wished I knew someone who could invest in this because I have so many ideas for earning money with land. Hell, there’s farmers in the UK earning around £2k a month just from YouTube subscriptions, so you could turn the whole project into a youtube channel.

The biggest issue though is being disabled and being unable to repay any loan until the farm is generating an income which makes it impossible to get normal funding but the more I think of a farm, the more I think it would benefit my health in the long run! 😞
