Abstract

This article discusses four successful crops for smaller farms, focusing on herbs. The author, a small-scale farmer, emphasizes the importance of selecting crops that are compact, quick-growing, and high-yielding due to limited space. The profitability of herbs is highlighted, with examples of parsley and dill selling for higher prices compared to kale. The author specifically recommends basil, parsley, cilantro, and dill as the most profitable herbs for small farms. They provide tips on growing and harvesting each herb, including disease-resistant varieties and post-harvest care. [Extracted from the article]
