We look forward to every Sunday going to the farmers market.
We also are going to be growing "certified" organic veggies and edible flowers on our new property as a retirement investment, so I think this is also a good thing for retired people to do.

  Do it for the love of growing, for producing wonderful food but please, please, please do not ever count on it as a retirement investment. Make other plans that will cover you if (when) your crop "investment" falls short.

    We are only doing it as a "hobby" since hubby grows an awesome garden and we have more than we could ever eat. Our retirement funds are well secured, this is to keep him out of my feathers and nest all day.

      Sounds wonderful. We grow extra crops & donate them along with our extra eggs to our local food banks which are always under-funded and under-supplied.

  Knowing how hard the people work to bring produce to my local farmer's market, I know that there is no way that I could do it, and I am quite fit.
  The only way that I would even consider it in retirement would be as a partnership with a young couple where the young couple could use the land for next to nothing.
