all kinds of stuff
Trade skills are especially useful.
@Rin People at the farmers market in my city sell organic hierloom tomatoes for $4.00 a pound. Agriculture prices depend on where you are in the nation.
Yes, people do buy them.
organic foods are very good profit, especially if you become a well known regional brand
5000 pounds?
Hell, 50,000 pounds?
Thats 200k a season, IF you sell everyone and lose none to disease.
That's enough for maybe 3 families per year if they are stretching it.
It would depend on the amount and quality of land I have. The real money is in growing things people have never heard of, like this https://www.starkbros.com/products/berry-plants/kiwi-berry-vines/anna-hardy-kiwi
Compare that to the average wall street income, it's litterally nothing.
>international finance and selling meaningless pieces of paper
The point of agriculture is to feed and prepare ourselves for whatever may come, and to be self sustaining. It just isn't enough to provide all income too.
People are free to have any occupation they choose, as long as they are contributing meaningfully to the community.
@Rin it depends on the local market. In my experience people will drive 2 hours one way to try to sell at my cities farmer's market. It may not be a great source of income, but it's better than nothing.
But the alternative isn't "nothing" kek..... It's other more lucrative jobs....
apiculture is also a good starter for farm/field driven people
Or Amish.
it's illegal to seccede from the USA
so no country
lmao
@Rin more than likely will be living far from any large city like portland or seattle. Land is too expensive buy near them. What kind of job are you gonna have that lets you take two weeks of in the spring to plant, two weeks in the fall to harvest and plenty of time inbetween watering and weeding. Either you live with us and work a 40hr/week in an office or you have a part time job that lets you take time off to work your fields.
Right.
a community is fine
an ethno-community is fine
As long as you don't make it a business thing
Why do you personally have to take care of all farm tasks? What is your family doing this whole time? What if you want to create infrastructure, or build things for a living? It's retarded to say that every member of the community must generate all his income through farming. It's just not even realistic, for several reasons.
>building a house with corn
kek
Can have a cellery front door.
i'll have a radish oven
Tomato doormat.
@Rin what i'm saying is that most of the people on this server either work min wage jobs or are neets. The few people who don't, work in IT and we won't have internet when this is first started. If you wanna commute an hour a day to a city go ahead. Just don't complain about a nigger mugging you on your walk to your car.
you can work from home
My parents live off grid
and they own a business
think outside the box
