3. Willows
Estimated price per pound: $7
While most of you recognize willow (catkins or rods) as the stems you find in your flower arrangements, there are also several other uses for this crop. Most of the rustic garden furniture you can purchase is made out of willows, as well as the majority of baskets. However, while this crop is easy to grow and maintain, given its size you’ll need about an acre of land to harvest 4-5 tons, resulting in approximately $56,000.
