I'd love to know how 5 people can make any money only working a 12 acre farm? Especially when there only growing vegetables. I know locally grown organic food is more expensive than factory farm processed food, still though I'm just blown away these people can make money. If anyone from diggers mirth reads this please comment. I'm not asking you how much you make or anything. My brother is a farmer so is my grandpa, I guess I'm just used to seeing 1 guy and his whife and children barely break even on mechanized 150 acre farms.
