A Colorful Market Table

Cole_Robbie · February 23, 2019

First of all, I really appreciate everyone's support in this long thread.

Secondly, I am planning to take a hiatus from market gardening starting this year. My family will still maintain our market space, so I might still have a few colorful table pics to share. I am planning to pursue being a hemp farmer when my state opens up licensing in the spring. Yesterday, I met a farmer from Colorado who plants 500 acres in cbd hemp. With predicted prices for next fall, that will net about $5-10 million. Profits like that are not going to be around for very long, after Big Ag takes over. But that will take five more years or so. I need to go grab a few of those millions for myself, so I can afford to be a market gardener.

I wish everyone the best with their gardens for 2019.
