I’m interested in part time organic gardening/farming.
Currently grow around 1,000 lbs produce annually for my family (includes heavy stuff like melons, squash, potatoes so not that impressive).
I want to expand and try my hand at a farmers market or direct to consumer. But for the first few seasons I’d like to focus on items that I can store in a cool dry place and sell slowly.
I’m thinking that winter squash, pumpkins and gourds, ornaments corn, heirloom potatoes, while not the most valuable can be stored for some time without the need for a cold room like leafy greens require.
Any thoughts or suggestions?
