I don’t think the goal of this farm is to produce a lot of food or make money (the article talks about this), and so measuring it by those metrics is a bit misguided. Is an open source project a failure because it never makes a dime? Of course not. The goal isn’t to get rich or solve all the world’s problems. The goal of this farm is to give a few outcast people a place they can be happy. There are many interesting problems surrounding feeding the world, but nobody here is claiming to be trying to solve them - which is fine!
