Big ag is bad. Your local market farming who is doing a CSA and selling at the farmers market it probably legit.
2 acres. No tractor. No sprays. 24 CSA members a week. 2 farmers markets. Husband and wife, no employees. We rely on insect netting instead of pesticides. We use agri-bon floating row cover for season extension. We also have 2 hundred foot tunnels. Doing about $80k a year. This is on leased land while we are renting an apartment.
Find your local CSA farms and hit those farmers markets. We're creating the parallel economy in your backyard.
Edit: I should note, I greatly encourage people to garden and take pressure off of the greater food system. Not to mention, nothing beats growing your own and knowing how it is grown and handled.
Gardens, yes. Farms, no. There is a lot of runoff from farms which must be handled properly.
