She Farms 1/8 Acre for $65,000/Year

One farmer proves you don't need massive land or debt to make a living wage. Jill Duncan generates $65,000 annually from just 1/8 acre - smaller than most suburban backyards. With no employees, no electricity on site, no wash station, and working just 40 hours per week during peak season, she's redefined what profitable farming looks like. Starting at age 40 with zero farming experience beyond backyard gardening, Jill built a thriving operation that's grown every single year. In this farm profile, discover: ✅ How she manages 32 fifty-foot beds completely solo (except harvest day) ✅ Why she charges $12-15/lb wholesale and customers gladly pay ✅ The "relationship farming" model that keeps 70+ weekly customers loyal ✅ How she pivoted from farmers markets to online sales in one week during lockdown ✅ Why she turned down doubling her operation (and makes more money instead) ✅ The exact crops that generate the highest returns per square foot ✅ How efficiency improvements increased revenue without adding land Jill's approach challenges everything we're told about farm scaling. Instead of getting bigger, she focused on getting better. The result? A sustainable 40-hour work week, growing revenue, and a waiting list of customers. Perfect for: Aspiring farmers with limited land, current farmers questioning the "get big or get out" mentality, anyone seeking a profitable farming model that preserves quality of life.
