S13 E13: How to *Actually* Make Money from a Small Farm Oct 16, 2023

Show notes

It's every homesteader's dream to quit their job and become completely self-sufficient selling eggs & soap from their homestead.
The bad news? It's almost impossible to make a full-time income from selling eggs & soap.
The good news? It's entirely possible to make real money from your small farm-- you just need a strategy.
In this episode, I'm joined by farmer and business coach Michael Kilpatrick to bust through the common misconceptions around making money from a farm so you can make actual money instead!
