Yes, it sounds a little too good to be true. The story told always about a friend of a friend, never first hand. An urban myth, even. The idea of having a hobby, something you like to do, that brings revenue beyond time and expenses. I have always been skeptical of claims of this nature, thinking them a beautiful dream and nothing more.
I have a relatively new hobby, wine-making, that I wonder, could it fill this elusive role? I have made only one batch, but it was well received by those who tried it, so, why not? I could turn this hobby into a small boutique winery with little capital investment and a tasty back-up plan in case of inability to move product. The biggest downside or most difficult part of this idea seems to be in the need to spend time sitting at farmers markets trying to sell wine here in the heartland. Homemade wine, to boot.
I will be starting a new batch soon and contemplating as I go through the process and I'll keep you posted!
