The Ultimate Small Business for Home Business Entrepreneurs.
WEB Resource, Nov. 25, 2004 (MetroFarm) - Abraham Lincoln said, "The greatest fine art of the future will be the making of a comfortable living from a small parcel of land." That future is today with metropolitan agriculture. Consider the numbers: Where the average acre of farmland in Iowa earns $322, the average acre within the city limits of San Francisco earns $123,000 (Census of Agriculture). You can earn up to eight times the average personal income on as little as one acre of land. You can be male or female, old or young, married or single. You can lease, own, or rent. You can succeed with small fruits on prairie beach lands, house plants in coastal valleys, flowers on steep wooded hillsides, vegetables in city greenbelts and ornamentals in neighborhoods of million dollar homes. For details, read Michael Olson's definition of metropolitan agriculture and his book "MetroFarm". Sign up for our free weekly newsletter.
