How To Make $150,000 On A 1.5 Acre Farm
There are many ways to make money living off the grid, but organic farmer Jean-Martin Fortier may have found the best one – and it’s bringing in $150,000 each year.
Fortier and his wife take in that much annually on an acre and a half farm where they raise everything from tomatoes to broccoli, using what they call “biologically intensive” practices and unique farming methods to harvest more vegetables than is normal on such a small piece of land. And they do it all without a tractor.
Fortier is this week’s guest on Off The Grid Radio, and he gives us an overview of his Quebec farm – a farm that has drawn worldwide attention and resulted in him writing a book.
He also tells us:
- How his method can be duplicated on any off-grid homestead.
- Why he chose not to use a tractor or any heavy machinery.
- How he grows vegetables, in such large quantities, in a cold climate.
- What he learned on a trip of New Mexico that inspired him to try his methods.
- Why he believes his method – and not Big Ag – is the secret to feeding the world.
Fortier’s story is incredible and inspiring, even if you don’t plan on copying his methods.
