>I want to grow something, and sell it locally
>I decide on chicken
>I read in the local grocery flyer that 1kg of blackberries sells more than 1kg of whole chicken

So should I just grow blackberries then? Or is my entire logic retarded?
>>

capital investment will be way higher on blackberries, and they might not even produce in the first year.

look into duck eggs. ducks are easier to take care of than chickens, easier to get set up, and sell for significantly higher prices and draw more attention

don't blackbreeze grow practically like weeds? you get a small patch going and pretty soon your entire yard is a festering thicket of prickers, thorns, and brambles with deeper roots than the Rockerfellers. you just have to cover that shit with bird netting and you should be good to go.

fuck keeping animals, little high maintenance shits.

Literally how? Chickens need fencing, housing, feed... Berries just need a lattice.
>>
>>987775
go throw some seeds out in the clay and see how that works.

fruit isnt fucking magic. you have amend the soil, protect from the elements, heat/cold as you get them started, and monitor nutrients.
>>
>>987749
Anon you don't understand. You aren't selling one 1kg of chicken. You are selling a lovingly raised hormone and antibiotic free organic grassfeed free range poultry. You can't compete with real corporate farms prices however you can out buzzword the living fuck out of them, and actually produce a better product.

Yeah, plants don't grow in the wild, you have to create a special environment for them or they'll die.

Blackberries are seasonal. Eggs are basically all year, even though they slow in the Winter. There is always demand for farm-raised eggs.
>>
>>987772
>>987773
Rubus are also a LOT more labor-intensive than eggs. Eggs you just pick up and carton. Berries take forever to pick, then you have to package them, while trying to make sure they don't get smashed all while being exposed to the elements - rain, sun, wind, etc.

wild plants are hardier but don't taste very good

Why not do blackberries, eggs, AND chicken?

Fertilize the blackberries with what your chickens crap out. Organic marketing buzzwords all around!
>>
>>988235
Also keep in mind that chickens are pretty easy to take care of and plants of any kind usually aren't. A single big, fat hen is easier to raise and sell than a whole kilo of berries, assuming you have the space for a decent sized flock, although chickens still probably require less room overall than a bunch of blackberry plants.

This guy gets it.

But OP, this thread is full of golden opinions. Cultivating any life is a job, and trying to get it market-ready is a whole other job.

Guys, why can't op do both?

Monoculture means only one revenue stream

Egg to roaster takes18 weeks.
Stagger age groups for maximum cash flow, disease prevention, management efficiency. Eat eggs and chicken.
Blackberries crop annually. You'll starved before first harvest.

Been a fun time watching the battle. As a kid there was a patch we would back out truck into. Fucking buckets of berries. I heard they make thornless plants now?
