Will We Ever Make Money at This? | Small Farm Profits | Making Money on a Small Farm

[@KrakenSantaCruz]

Been watching you two for a long time. We have a property in the Santa Cruz Mountains of which we have built into a small fruit tree farm. We are thinking of converting it into a business and you have both been a positive influence in our endeavors. Thank you for what you do, keep bringing the content! All the best, David and Lisa

[@EdgeofNowhereFarm]

Hey David. Thank you so much for that generous tip. That's just not something we see very often! I'm so glad to hear you guys are considering turning that small farm into a business. There are just so many advantages to having a small farm holding like this and when you pair that with the tax advantages of a small farm business it's an excellent combo.

[@sissy1339]

I always feared recession. After my first experience with my first recession, I learned to put money aside every week and it worked out when the next two recessions came, of course the third one was more like a depression. So always prepare and save money. The road ahead is going to get really bumpy! Love you both!

Hey there "Sissy"! We are savers by nature, so we are definitely following your advice! Not just cash either..😉

@@EdgeofNowhereFarm Yep we are moved in, now we are trying to find a contractor to erect our steel building garage, we had one lined up but is now not returning phone calls, all the metal is sitting here ready to go, if anyone knows a company let me know. I am hoping we can finally start are egg chickens this year as well.

What is also good, is not just that you are making money but the farm is contributing to your food security. You consume food and drink fairly regularly from the farm as well.

Excellent observations here and that is so true. Food security for us as well as for our customers!

We were just talking about this today. It's great to make a profit from running this farm, but I imagine, in the grand scheme of things, our impact is much bigger than a few green backs. That's something we will always treasure!

Have you ever thought of adding Camp Sites to the edges of your property for additional cash flowing income? Just mark out for campers individual spaces to put their tent or fully contained small RV and their vehicle. They require no utilities. You might consider putting a picnic table and powder room (with composting toilet and tiny sink) in their camping space after you start making some money (then you can charge more). Section off an area for only "One" firepit with room for campers to bring their chairs (later you can build benches) and roast weenies, smores and marshmallows. Also, use Moringa trees to mark the boundaries of each individual campsite as they require little water and grow quickly. They also provide shade. Just give campers reasons to come to your farm like walking trails around the perimeter of your property, self-guided tours of certain sections of your farm, petting zoos, vegetable/fruit stand to buy in-season foods, etc. Your climate is perfect for Moringa trees which thrive in drought weather. It is also a good cash crop. Line your walking and self-guided trails with Moringa trees for shade and low maintenance landscaping. Go online and checkout what other campsites are charging and get excited for new streams of income. Love you guys, your farm and your KZbin channel. Hope this helps. May The Lord richly Bless you! :-)

[@EdgeofNowhereFarm]

These are some great suggestions and we do have plans for some type of Air BNB and/or farmstay for folks to come visit. And yes, Moringa is a great tree for us here!

Ok, Chet I can't help saying this, but I'm pretty sure Dolly Parton is the opposite of flat busted (puns aplenty). 😉 We were trying to keep this one shorter and didn't address future profit centers for the farm. Fruit is probably what we're know for and yet we have not started selling any of it yet! The goal is to have that as part of the farm income starting with some U-pick of peaches, apples and mulberries. Probably won't be this year, but maybe 2024 if the trees keep growing strong.

Lori works full time on the farm and paying her a salary will give you a more accurate picture of the business going forward. Cheers!

Dr. Carver said, put the black back in the soil and you will be wealthy as farmers were in decades passed. He was a personal hero to many in ag and to many of us yet, today. He disliked chemical farming as something ungodly.

[@EdgeofNowhereFarm]

I would have to agree with that one Martin. This year is the first time we pulled any money out of the farm for something other than a capital expense for the farm!

[@jamesandrew5338]

Congratulations on being profitable. No small feat for sure. Curious which area or particular revenue streams of your farm has the biggest profit margin ? Sale of pigs/ fruit or plant sales / poultry / training others seminars ? Again thanks for sharing with others successes and struggles

[@EdgeofNowhereFarm]

Aside from our KZbin and affiliate income (almost all profit except for some capital expense) our biggest profit margin is probably poultry as we try to keep that at or near 50% margin (not accounting for our time). Our bulk programs run at smaller profit percentages (usually between 25 - 30%), so folks are paying less than they would for individual cuts. Eventually we will be selling fruit and that is near 100% margin as well after covering capital expenses. At least, for U-pick where we will not provide packaging.

[@SimpleEarthSelfReliance]

This is one of those big issue topics. The process of setting up survival (infrastructure, resources) and building the projects that will both regenerate the ecosystem (while generating moola) is so slow, that sometimes it seems very distant. I find that it slowly becomes clear and obvious as we go along. I enjoyed this video, it gave me a few things to think about in a new way...

[@EdgeofNowhereFarm]

I have to agree. These days folks are so focused on a quick fix or pill to fix what ails them. Slow and steady is just not something most folks want to consider, but it's the way nature works. Sure there are flash floods and earthquakes that make drastic, quick changes, but most times it's a long term process that creates incredible beauty over time.

You think you guys will do a video on how you water during spring well its starting to heat up???

[@EdgeofNowhereFarm]

Hey Anthony. Our spring schedule is not too much different from our summer schedule. The exception is certain varieties that need additional water during the peak of summer. Pecan and fig being the primary ones. For those we water 2x/week as opposed to once, but at the same amount of water. Last year that was 60 gallons each time we irrigate for everything except pecans. They get 90 gallons twice a week at the peak of summer.

You didn't mention the wine... do you sell this as well and is it considered part of your farm income? Just curious

Do you guys sell plants? That's another way to make money, and I buy plants online all the time. By the way, I am looking for great tasting figs that grow vigorously for my backyard. I am in Dallas zone 8. Any recommendations?

[@EdgeofNowhereFarm]

We've had a lot of folks ask us to do that, but we haven't decided for sure if it's something we want to take on. With me (Duane) still working off farm FT we are limited on the amount of time we can invest in any given enterprise. That being said, if you're looking for trees online we do have a few favorite spots to purchase from; www.starkbros.com/ raintreenursery.com/ plantingjustice.org/ bobwellsnursery.com/ www.groworganic.com/ Selection will definitely vary according to season and we're "technically" at the end of the bare root planting season, so options may be pretty thin on some of these sites.

[@frankliu5236]

Have you considered installing solar panels for your farm? Why or why not? Thanks!😊

[@EdgeofNowhereFarm]

Hey there Frank, great question. We had solar on our last farm and we never saw a financial benefit from it. The up front cost and repair costs (we had to replace a single panel at a cost of over $500 from hail damage) I was estimating to be a break even at best in 25 years which is the lifetime of the system. Now, things have changed a bit from when that was installed back in 2014, but regulations regarding net metering have as well. Eventually we'll look at it again once battery technology is strong enough to get us through our Summer season without being on grid (and not living a spartan lifestyle). It's just not there quite yet to be financially beneficial in my estimation.

You need a quarterly P&L to guage profitability, not your end of year taxes.

[@EdgeofNowhereFarm]

Great point Cheryl. We review our P&L monthly as we reconcile our bank statement (Technically our Quickbooks homepage gives us that perpetually). What's encouraging was to see a positive cash flow from month to month as we moved into the early part of last year. Farming/ranching is by nature seasonal, so it's actually quite rare to see positive cash flow outside of a handful of months a year. For example, we purchase pigs in August that are not sold until 6-8 months later. Hence all the different enterprises that allow for monthly cash flow and overall profitability.

Is it legal and profitable in AZ to grow hemp? I understand it is sustainable like the sugar cane and the fiber from the stalks is used worldwide, while providing a lot of organic matter with the leaves, even if the soil is poor.

[@EdgeofNowhereFarm]

It is legal to grow here, but I don't know of any farms growing it for fiber and other textiles. Medicinal (high THC) is also legal, but it has to be for personal use.

[@irisdude]

@@EdgeofNowhereFarm I have always heard that Hemp contains very little THC and has only been grown for textile purposes, but I've never looked it up. On Google it says, "Hemp plants and marijuana plants are both the same species. Legally, hemp is defined as a cannabis plant that contains 0.3 percent or less THC, while marijuana is a cannabis plant that contains more than 0.3 percent THC. CBD can be derived from both hemp and marijuana plants." I was thinking only of the textile usage. To do a THC or CBD usage, I think you would have to endure so much regulation. Maybe I should get some land, start a hemp farm, and get the Ag students from U of A to come work the fields for college credit :)

No, there are no organic processors anywhere near us, so we would not be able to sell as organic. As for finishing, we only do corn finished beef now. We attempted grass finished, but the meat was a bit too tough and the flavor was much stronger than what our customers were wanting.

Coerced #TaxationIsTheft. If you think about it, it would be really weird if a stranger on the street came up and asked that you give them all the details of your financial accounting. It would be questionable if they told you that they wanted you to give them some of their money. (Even if they "promised" they would do some good things with that money). It would be immoral if they threatened to steal, hurt, or imprison you if you didn't give them the money they asked for. (Even worse if they actually did those things. The strangers in Washington DC have no more power or right to know how much you earn, and no more right to your property (money) than a stranger you pass on the street.
