Description: Most farms chase more: more acres, more markets, more crops. Hillview Farms did the opposite. In this episode, Diego breaks down how farming couple Michael and Shannon Whamond generated over $200,000 in annual revenue farming just 2 acres of clay soil in Lincoln, California. That's over $100,000 per acre — two and a half to five times the average market garden. Click here to watch the video version over on our YT Channel!
