I came across some information that encourages people to learn how to make money from farming. Yes, farming - growing food and selling it. Apparently, this is a growing phenomenon as a result of the bad economy and recession.
Now, before you start shaking your head. Consider this: There is a new concept called Micro Eco-Farming, which is basically local mini-farming. The idea is that you can grow food in your backyard and sell it to local stores, restaurants, and food co-ops. You can also sell the food at your local farmer's market, or you can set up your own roadside stand.
Even better, you can sell the food to your organic-loving neighbors.
It may sound far-fetched, but people are making anywhere from a couple hundred dollars to a couple thousand dollars a month from micro eco-farming.
