Is small farming profitable?

[Hotzcatz]

Well, with the advice from the book (nice cover pics!) and you folks here, we are now a citrus and fig farm. At least for starting it will probably mutate into some sort of another farm by the time it is all done. At the Plant It Hawaii sale, we got two brown turkey fig trees, two meyers lemon trees, two Washington navel orange trees and a Tahitian lime. We have them sitting in the shade waiting for the farmlet to be prepared for them. Next week we will hopefully get the paperwork started, the exact location pinned down and perhaps get the fellow in to mow. Then we can plant the trees while we look into fencing out the pigs. In the fall, we will get about that many trees again and after the fencing, there will be more things to plant, but I dunno what yet. It is only one acre, so it shouldn't be that much work, we hope.
