🫐 How This Blueberry Farm Went From Barely Breaking Even to $30k/Year!
🔍 The Final Chapter of Our 2025 Homestead Study... (For now)
The USDA warned most homesteads will lose $1,980 next year.
That's why we studied hundreds of homesteads to find who's actually making money and HOW.
(We've covered homesteads who sell E=Expertise and G=Goodies. Today, meet the homesteader who mastered the final "G" in our E.G.G system)
Meet Robin. She bought Blueville Acres - a struggling 2-acre blueberry farm that barely covered property taxes.
The previous owners only made money 2 months a year. Robin knew there had to be a better way...
Her breakthrough? She took a lesson from McDonald's famous phrase:
"Would you like fries with that?"
She realized people were coming to her farm for such a short window of time, picking berries, and leaving. What if she could offer them MORE before they left?
She started adding:
🥚 Fresh eggs
🦃 Heritage turkeys
🐑 Lamb meat
🥛 Milk shares
🍯 Raw honey
👕 Farm merch
Each addition made the farm more lively and fun! Soon she noticed something HUGE...
The parking lot was overflowing with families who came not just to pick berries, but to experience FARM LIFE! That's when she had her biggest breakthrough - she could charge admission!
She started charging admission for her most popular farm open times (weekends)
The results?
💰 $30k/year
📈 $20k pure profit
🎯 Year-round income
⬇️ Same property, WAY more money!
That brings us to the final G in E.G.G. ---> G = GO: Create experiences people want to GO visit!
You could charge for
🚜 Farm tours
🎨 Field trips
📸 Photo ops
🌅 Weekend visits
💡 KEY LESSON: Create a destination people want to GO to! When you build an experience worth visiting, charging admission becomes your biggest profit maker.

🍞 Urban Homesteader Makes $30k/Year From Her Kitchen!
🔍 Our 2025 Profitable Homestead Study Continues...
The USDA research warned most homesteads will lose $1,980 next year. That's why we studied hundreds of homesteads to find who's actually making money and HOW.
(Yesterday we revealed the "E" in E.G.G. - Expertise. Today, meet someone who mastered the first "G"...)
Meet Alyssa. Her story starts in her childhood kitchen, baking banana bread with her mom. After losing her father at 14, baking became her therapy. She went to culinary school, worked in professional kitchens, and eventually opened a bakery... but life had other plans.
Marriage, a honeymoon baby, and 2 more kids, She decided to close her bakery to take care of her family.
Then 2020 happened. You remember 2020? Yeah.
Alyssa decided to start homesteading. She started small:
🌱 Planted a garden
🐔 Got some chickens
🥖 Returned to baking
The magic happened when she combined them all:
• Fresh eggs made her breads richer
• Garden herbs created unique flavors
• Seasonal produce transformed her pies
At first, she gave treats to neighbors. Their response? THEY WENT CRAZY for her artisanal goods!
She decided to try to start a little side hustle baking again, and the rest is history!
Now she runs a thriving micro-bakery:
💰 $600-1000 every weekend at markets
🏡 Convenient porch pickup system
👨👩👧👦 Perfect work-life balance
🎯 30k/year from her urban yard!
💡 KEY LESSON: Stop selling ingredients, or GOODS... and instead sell the G (in E.G.G) = GOODIES
Transform basic ingredients into premium products people crave! People happily pay more for transformed products.
🤔 What could you turn your farm fresh products into that would earn more money? Comment Below!
👀 and stay tuned for Tomorrow: The final "G" in E.G.G... and how a struggling blueberry farm turned into a $30k/year powerhouse!
