I like doing it. Mainly to make sure the large produce grower in the area don't get the whole pie(all the money) from selling produce. The second thing is I know what if anything was dumped on for chemicals.
As for working it most of the work here is done with tractors, other than picking. Have a small seed planter mounted on the Farmall A. Peas go in with a grain drill. Beans we found out work good in the corn planter. With the greenhouse we have lots of plants to put in. To make that easy we have two different trans-planters; one that mounts on the C(don't use much anymore), the other a pull type. Either is a three person job to run. If the weeds don't come out with the tractor's cultivator they stay. The problem is animals try to steal a lot of it.
When the crop is ready, pick by hand. This is the hard part, but its good conversation time with anyone around. Then we try to sell as much as possible at market. The left overs either get used by us(can/freeze/fresh), given a way(neighbors/pantry), tossed in the spreader or given to the critters in the barn.
