You ever just want to buy something like this and try to make a go of it

23. Some (many) people are what they call "weekend" farmers.

They aren't trying to make a living off of the farm, they have a pension they can live off of, and they grow small crops for amusement, experimentation and they sell some of what they grow. They may do hens/eggs and sell those.

It doesn't take a shit load of work to grow, for example, Xmas trees--they do it by themselves once planted. Or operate a woodlot--the hardest part is the cutting, and there are always people looking for work so you hire them to help.

I buy lots of stuff from local producers when I'm up that way. Look at the list of farms I provided--those didn't all start out as "major" farms--many of those folks were "dabblers."

And ya don't need sixty seven acres, necessarily, depending on what you want to do. There are smaller lots/better deals with nicer houses that are more "move-in ready." It is, as I said, a buyer's market.
