DW farms. I'd list what she grows, but the internet would run out of zeros and ones!
We have filled almost all of our back yard (1/4 acre lot) with raised garden beds. They surround about 400 SF of shaded deck. It's beautiful many months of the year. We get two full growing seasons. Presently winding down summer harvest while planting fall crops.
We do it for the awesome food. When you factor in the cost of building all the beds, amending (organicallY) the soil regularly, the plant/seed cost as well as the tools/labor, it is no financial win. But that's not why we do it.
Ditto with me and deer hunting. That venison costs way more than wagyu beef - - - but worth every penny.
