Nomadic gardener rents people’s yards to grow produce

Jim Kovaleski is a nomadic gardener โ€” he refers to what he does as “portable farming” at one point โ€” who moves from place to place, renting out people’s yards to grow produce, which he then sells to stores and markets.

This nomadic gardener travels between Maine to Florida gardening leased front yards. With a frugal lifestyle and revenues as high as $1.5K a week, he’s living the dream.

That’s pretty cool. I have space for a garden at my place…I wonder if anyone local wants to farm it in exchange for some fresh produce? (via bb)
