I thought about a huge garden but would I really see a return on investment with that option?

Maybe lease it to someone for a farmers market garden? Or their bee hives.

Are there a lot of government maintenance projects around? Grade it, lay some crushed rock, put up a security fence, then lease it for parking of their equipment.

You don't think the other 5 people had the same idea as you? I would avoid at all costs.

Build a house that is skinny, then build it like 10 stories tall.

Burpee Seed Co. estimates that for every $50 a family spends on seeds and fertilizer, they’ll reap $1,250 in produce. Not sure how accurate this is, but i know people that do make money on a garden that size.

They don't bring em in when everything is running right down there. Might want to rethink that.

Plant trees. In 20 years you can build a tree house.
