From Dirt to Dividends: Use Gardening and Preferred Shares to Supplement Your Homestead (MFI Series1, #137)

Many people's dream (including mine) is to run off to a homestead and live a quiet life.

Unfortunately, even quiet lives require money. So, we can either work a job or create income from the dirt.

Gardening is a great way to supplement our life on the homestead. But it would be even more effective if we recreated recurring passive income from our gardens.

Enter preferred shares. These securities can get us returns over 10%, keeping our money flowing in the form of dividends.

Our dividends could cover our entire farm life in time, and we could garden just for our family. Not a bad way to live.
