yah my thoughts wandered into that territory a bit wondering about economies of scale etc by leaving it up to the professional farmers. It's definitely something to think about. I think the freshness/quality is a real draw. All our multiplying strawberry plants give such a punchy berry--store bought just can't compete. There's an independence aspect too to contemplate in light of food security and rising food prices and shortages and that sort of thing. One other thing that's popped up is the garden created all this food for bugs too. I see a bunch of lady bugs, praying mantises, and just today this white butterfly was hopping around laying single eggs beneath a broccoli leaf. I think I'm going to let those lil caterpillars grow to maturity.
