Introducing Todd McCree of Great Escape Farms
Hi-Oh!
Fellow Steemians in Steemit Nation!
I've been learning a lot and meeting some really awesome peeps.
One of those peeps is Todd McCree.
Todd is in his 3rd year of reproducing some awesome plants for sale through his backyard nursery.
You can check out his inventory at http://greatescapefarms.com/

Having a backyard nursery can be a great way to make some supplemental income for any homestead.
Seriously, have you been to a big nursery lately and seen their prices?
It's crazy talk.
Especially when you realize that there is such low overhead and such a low cost to entry into this industry that is always in hot demand.
I know that this is something that I would like to do on my homestead.
After meeting Todd, this side-hussle business model seems more in my reach than ever before.
Isn't it amazing how others success can actually breed success within yourself?
That's Inspiration!

I have started growing plants and trees for resale in one of the local nurseries this year. I can hardly keep up with the demand. This is just crazy...
What kind of income are are you gaining from this side Hussle And how many hours a week do you spend on it?
Planting the seeds in seedling poly bags and the larger species of trees and plants in burlap bags can take me a few days. Watering takes up to 3-4 hours a day in dry season. Rainy season is a blessing since I may only need to water once or twice in the season. Since this is our first year and we have sold two crops of papaya trees I have recouped most of the costs of watering and planting. Our year hasn't ended yet and I have cleared about $1500. I expect as I get better at planning and produce more plants my profits should go up. Not bad for an under 2 acre property.
Not bad indeed. I think back yard nurseries are a great niche market for homesteaders. Thanks for the info.
