My wife and I are on our 6th year selling roadside. We were lucky to have acreage on a busy corner, and live close to a population center so we get the necessary traffic to do well. Sales have grown every year as word of mouth spreads. We have some specialty items that we have developed a reputation for. We sell everything we grow right here at the farm....if I was younger I would think of growing more and selling wholesale, but we decided to keep it simple and it has worked well.
I also do custom farming/tractor work on the side which helps with cash flow in the spring. Neither one would be as profitable without free advertising through Craigslist and external_link.
I've seen a fairly high failure rate for those touting CSA's around here. People are too conservative to lay out $450 or more in the spring, betting on kids with wide brimmed hats and an idea, that don't even own a tractor, to supply them with produce throughout a growing season that can be tough up here. Also, why pay ahead when you can drive down the road and pick out only the veggies you want?
