appreciated. We have started a few of your thoughts! We started a blueberry u-pick, which Ihope to open this year. We in the process of planting (March) several hundred Virginia Pines for a possible future Christmas Tree Lot. I am not too sure if the cattle pay, and I can't find a market for my market lambs, I have my all veg soap in a few stores but still it is more like a hobby. I guess I need a class in marketing. But I pick up on a few more ideas for your book. I hope to get everything kinda of going so hubby can retire from his civilian government job a little earlier than later. Thanks, Again, Debbie Wolcott

Well, shucks. Thank you Debbie!

For new folks on the forum, several years ago I self-published a book on How to Earn Extra Money in the Country. Sold enough paper copies to breakeven, but not sufficient to justify another print run. Rather than seeing it just grow spiderwebs on my PC, I am offering it as a free e-book to anyone who asks for a copy (except for those on hotmail since, for some reason, it won't accept that large of an attachment). Between 300-500 possibilities. And it comes with a money back guarantee. Just send me an e-mail at scharabo@aol.com requesting a copy.
