Prospering With Acreage For Sale North Carolina

By Carol Stevens


A great 'rags to riches' tale starts with a small acreage for sale North Carolina way. This account is the epitome of the American Dream. It begins in rural Virginia, when a young man who wanted to get back to the land became an intern with a small but savvy farmer.

Entrepreneurs have proved that direct farm to table sales can make small holdings produce big profits. The Amish have been doing it for years, supporting families of up to twenty people on a few acres. People are tired of the tasteless, toxic products of factory farms and are looking to buy local. Whether it's produce, honey, goat's milk soap, or baskets woven from the willows along your creek, if you can find a market you can prosper.

Use what you have, the old man said. Make it better. Work smart; if you can't make money at something, don't do it. His son and his grandson continued to farm that way and made a good living. However, the grandson elevated it to an art. He cut out the middle man, found a market niche, and ran a direct sales business right off the farm. After a while, he wrote books, gave lectures around the state, and took in interns to learn his system. While other farmers went bust or borrowed to keep going, he made a profit while paying all his family members and employees $20 an hour or more.

Acreage in California hardly even exists in some areas. New York is sold by the square foot. However, North Carolina is really affordable. It is a very varied state, with both urban, small town, and rural land for sale.

The young man bought 13 acres or so for under $20,000. He moved into the pitiful shack that was the house and counted himself lucky to have a roof over his head. He planned a one-man, low-overhead operation.

His movable pens protected the birds from predators and kept them healthy. He had almost no loss, no labor costs, low overhead, and steady, significant profits. Working smart, he was well-paid for his time. Best of all, he was his own boss and in charge of his future.

Local Chambers-of-Commerce are great sources of information on what each community has to offer. Browsing through small shops or visiting outlet malls for great discounts are popular pastimes in the Tar Heel State. The Sandhills are famous for horse sports and golf. The mountains have everything from fabulous views to real garnets to find. The beaches are world-famous. The seafood is divine.

Don't want to farm? Check out Wilmington for gracious, historic homes and cultural riches. North Carolina has world-renowned beaches. The western side has mountains of incredible beauty. Retire to a small town and find the peace, quiet, and community spirit you may have been missing. See what the cities have to offer. This state is truly a wonderful place to relocate no matter what age and stage of life you are.
