Do the costs include the farm loan? seems that how much money you can make is heavily dependent on the size of the mortgage. I'd love to get a true breakdown of farm costs including land.
I wish he would have said that the best way he wishes to expand is have you, the viewers, create a farm similar to this in their town so that everyone can have a neighbourhood farm like this. You can be the expander. He is comfortable, but the best way to get to wholesale, is multiple mini farms everywhere. The wholesale market stores in each neighbourhood could be a mini farm instead of selling what is sold on the same space. Most grocery stores are about 2 acres, so why isn't the store doing rooftop gardening?
