Yes you can create a lot of value in a small space with produce. I retired at 56 and we grow about 15 acres of produce. I am amazed at how much one can sell by the side of the road once people know what you have and that it is fresh and good. We struggle top have enough tomatoes for the demand. Another thing that sells good is big sweet onions. Still haven't figured out how to grow and pick enough strawberries--we don't dare advertise strawberries in the paper because we would be overrun with orders. Even things like bunches of green onions go really well, and I don't really have time to fool with them. Green beans are gold early in the season--usually can't grow or pick enough. Easiest money in produce is probably the tame thornless blackberries at $5-$6 per quart. Sweetcorn is the only thing that takes lots of space--about 10--12 acres.
It is a nice sideline and we make extra income, but the bottom line is that it is so much work and has so many potential problems, that I would never recommend trying to make a living at it! That is probably why most places charge more than we do.
