How much money could I make farming?
I want to grow mushrooms(legal lol),fruits,herbs and if medical marijuana became legal in Puerto Rico I would like to get involved in that too. I have a few more money making ideas but my goal would be a 100,000 a year. Would that be possible? I wouldn’t buy any big machinery or anything to costly. Also I don’t live in Puero Rico yet but that’s the place of my dreams so I want to head down there
GardenersCardiff answers:
To take home $100,000 a year off of farming anywhere is quite ambitious. Yes, some farmers make that much, but generally these are producers who have large farms and a lot of capital invested. More commonly, farmers may take home half that and any profits the farm makes on top of that is reinvested in the business.
If your farm earns a 10% rate of return (a reasonable goal), you’d need to gross over a million dollars to bring in that kind of scratch.
Are you talking about Grossing $100,000 a year? That’s a little more realistic for a start-up farmer. Keep in mind that’s a long way from netting $100,000 a year.
Do you have any start up capital? How to you plan to acquire land? And it’s fine if you don’t want to buy any “big machinery”, but virtually all farming operations require some investment in plant and equipment.
Do you have experience in farming? You mention mushrooms, fruits, herbs – that’s a wide range. You also mention medical marijuana – that’s a whole thing unto itself. It can be highly profitable, but it comes with it’s own challenges which I won’t get into. Bottom line – do you know what you’re doing?
If you want to succeed in this venture, you should develop a comprehensive business plan.

Are psilocybe cubensis and gold teacher mushrooms the same thing?
Hi I’ve been into shrooms for about 2 years now, and I even grow my own anceatas, I plan on growing gold teachers too, but if they are just a nickname for cubensis than I plan not too, also is their any other teacher mushroom other than golden?
GardenersCardiff answers:
“This is a short description of an experiment with the ‘Golden Teacher’ mushroom, which is a Psilocybe cubensis best recognized by its large, golden caps with yellow speckles on it.”

Golden teacher is all that saw when googling [teacher cubensis]. It took me a while to realize what an anceatas was.

May I have your best home made spaghetti sauce recipe please?
I am growing my own tomatoes and peppers (red and green). I would like to make my own pasta sauce when they are ready, but I need a great recipe. My nana used to make really good sauce, but she passed away before she could share her secret. Thank-you in advance.
GardenersCardiff answers:
Fresh Tomato-Pepper Sauce
serves 2
1 cup fresh plum tomatoes, chopped
1/4 cup green pepper, chopped
1/4 cup red pepper, chopped
1/2 cup tomato sauce
1 TB. Fresh basil, minced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 onion, minced
1/4 cup red wine
1/8 tsp. Black pepper
Pinch red pepper flakes
Pinch of white sugar or splenda sugar substitute
2 TB. Parmesan cheese, grated
Combine all ingredients in a saucepan and cook over med-low heat for 10 minutes. To add a flavor element I like to cut the tomatoes in half and cut the peppers in half cut side down on a baking sheet and spray with vegetable oil (olive oil), salt and pepper. Put under the broiler to bring out the sweetness and add roasted taste. Then chop and add to the sauce.
Add cooked meat, garden burgers cut up, mushrooms and your favorite vegetables (good with roasted zucchini).
Add cooked pasta (2 minutes less than package directions) directly to the sauce and finish cooking together for 2 more mins.
Use pasta water in the sauce if it’s too thick.
