I was reading about microfarm greenhouses. The ones I read about are built
in shipping containers, using hydroponics, heat, and LED lights for
year-round production. One online even had an app to monitor all the
components. Sounded very interesting, but the container is 40 X 8 feet, way
too big for my little property. It's real farming, enough for me and lots
extra to sell.
What I want is that, only about the size of my shed.
Or I could move back to the old homestead with my sister. Lots of room out
there. But I'd go crazy, not being able to get anywhere without someone
driving me.
What I need is about half an acre close to or in town, where I could get
around without a car. Similar to what I imagine Nella has.
I can picture how it would all work. But I'd need a partner to help with
marketing my crops; that's not my strong point at all.
I'm so impressed with what Nella has been able to do, setting up her farm
and selling her produce.
I have no idea even how to look for the land I imagine having.
