Our farm has been a part-time farm for over a century. Historically, it provided food and a lifestyle to the family, while cash came primarily from outside employment. When our children were young, it afforded me the opportunity to stay home. My labor provided food and supplemental income, and we bore no daycare expense. I have operated the farm for 19 years now and it is increasingly difficult to  balance the time demands of a full-time job, a busy family, and the farm. This is a wonderful opportunity for those who appreciate good food or who want to try market-gardening. It is ideal for those who have a primary income and benefits from off-farm sources.
