Backyard farmers by necessity: self-sufficient & debt-free!

Here is a cool story about a couple who started out as backyard farmers and ended up making a living at it!  

When Myrna and Earl Fincher married 53 years ago they started farming their yard "out of necessity". Today, the Finchers make a living selling their organic produce to restaurants and at the local farmers' market twice a week for much of the year. They had no experience as farmers, but learned by trial and error.



I can't wait for the local Farmers markets to open this season.  Here is a list of some of ours out here in the San Francisco bay area.
