TRENDS: While part time backyard farming and small acreage farming ventures continue to do well, more micro eco-farms are earning their primary income from the land.
Here’s a recent quote from KnoxvilleBiz: “In spite of a bad economy and poor growing weather — Tennessee producers were staggering last year from unseasonably wet conditions and the blights that followed — more small farmers are coming on the scene, and more of them derive their primary income from a few acres cultivated six to eight months of the year.” — www.MicroEcoFarming.com
