56: Why farming part time might be the answer with James at Honeyed Acres

What if full-time farming isn't the dream—and part-time farming is actually the sweet spot? In this episode, Jenny sits down with James from Honeyed Acres, a third-of-an-acre veggie farm in upstate New York, to talk about running a profitable farm without giving up a day job. James and his partner Ariana both work full-time off-farm, yet still manage to run a wildly successful CSA and market stand. Their story proves you don’t need 40 acres and a tractor to make real income. They dig into the realities of building a lean, profitable side-hustle farm—including smart investments, time management, and how to avoid burnout when you’re working seven days a week. Whether you're growing flowers or food, this episode is packed with insights on scaling sustainably, making smart decisions with your time and money, and defining success on your own terms. If you're a flower farmer wondering whether full-time is the only way forward, this episode is your permission slip to build a business that works for you. Tune in to hear how part-time farming can still lead to full-time fulfillment—and why profitability doesn't always mean growing bigger.Find James & Honeyed Acres Online:Follow James on Instagram: @honeyed_acres Did you enjoy this episode? Please leave us a review on Apple or Spotify!
