A Small organic farm needs strategies to be fun and supply healthy organic food besides being a natural living environment and adventurous playground for happy children. Hence little farms need to look like botanical gardens or parks - just bigger . Farming should be conducted like gardening, with love and health rather than with gains in mind.
A healthy natural environment and a piece of ground offers a near infinite number of opportunities to boost your profits and add new exciting and rewarding activities and services to your family business. If you are smart and ready to modify your heart and mind, to challenge all conservative farming methods of your area or region, then open up your mind and begin new ideas. Life needs to be fun, also for farmers.
As long as we may have a money oriented city population, you may add wares that you love to do, but at the very same time meet the needs of a luxury oriented urban center population. Make high end quality luxury items such exotic and expensive items as dragon fruits, beautiful flowers, roses, lotus flowers and all related wares.
Ensure you offer clean, organic wares free from chemicals substance and toxic materials. The global population is more and more suffering from toxic and artificial food supplements and thus ready to pay much higher prices for healthy natural food and luxury items in life.
While hundreds of millions of farmers may do work for five US dollars per hour or per day or in many countries for as little than one single dollar per day or less, out in the industrial world there are millions of people earning dozens or hundreds of dollars per hour for sitting in offices behind computer and without ever getting physically dirty or tired. Hence adapt your prices to match the income of your customers . God says all are equal, thus all have a God given right to bring in same sum per hour.
Important work, such as farmers feeding the world, definitely needs to earn same as top industry professionals or even more. The most important jobs earn highest wages. What in the world is more significant than producing nutrient for the world population? People may live for days, weeks or months without a home. In the street or self made emergency shelters. But no one can live weeks or months without food or without clean drinking water.
The revenue possibilities in a small organic farm are real and easy to accomplish without funding. The solution only is a matter of flexible mind and the willingness to think out of the box. Open for God and pray for inspiration and guidance in implementing new creative farming ideas to uplift your standard of living. As a result of improved revenues and real profits, you may see that many farmer children suddenly stay in country and work in farming environment rather than going to cities and work for boring industry jobs in a contaminated city environment .
In a tropical or warm climate zone there are a countless number of easy to manage products that a small farmer's family can handle without any machines. Diversify your orchard to have multiple wares purchasable in case one time of year ruins one product, a few weeks later another product is ready purchasable. Chose vegetarian agriculture over cattle and animal farming. The upside is simple : In vegetarian farming you can achieve much higher outputs per hectare of land than with animal agriculture and at the same time the reduced land needed allows you to work either completely without machinery or with smallest fully self financed machines that you may share with neighbors in a small self created farmer-coop. Sharing expenses and helping each other reduces overhead costs and increases profitability without the need of foreign or bank financing .
Chose easy to grow low maintenance products that return high profits from the richest ones to allow you affordable prices for all daily products sold to your local community and friends. Easy maintenance means learn to let things grow the way God grows nature in jungle.
A small dragon fruit farm for instance needs all year near zero maintenance. No irrigation needed, no cutting, no fertilizer. Every few years you rejuvenate your dragon fruit cacti and every few days you harvest your ripe tasty fruits.
Between the dragon fruit cacti you have ample free land for beautiful flowers, roses, herbs or vegetables to grow without any negative effect on your dragon fruit cacti. Flowers can be grown as cutting flowers to be sold to flower stores or even offered for self picking on a honest donation base with a large heave oil barrel with a small slot for the donations. In addition you can grow flowers to be sold in pots as young plants. Plant greenhouses or tree nurseries.
