## Resource

Twenty-two people spending $45 each. That's $1,000 a week. That's a neighborhood. Megan Neubauer built a $158,000/year pick-your-own operation at Pure Land Organic in Texas — with no walk-in cooler, no wash station, no farmer's market booth, and no harvest labor. The customers do the picking. Click here to watch the video version of this episode. Click here to check out Megan's book, Pick Your Own Farming by Megan Neubauer (Acres USA).
