Microgreens are kind of hit and miss. By the time you pay for lighting, trays, seeds, soil (if using) and you want to compete with grocery stores or even other vendors you barely make a profit. Most microgreen farmers make their money by teaching other people how to grow microgreens and saying its so lucrative, it isnt. Kind of a pyramid scheme. Micro herbs are nice to grow if you have a restaurant hookup.
Succulent growing is ok, takes some time for root development but they're pretty hands off, just put them by a window and water when they need it.
The problem with both of those is that they are pretty easy which means you'll have more competition.
If you have some maples by you syrup making is pretty easy just location dependent.
Growing mushrooms have a bigger learning curve and not everyone can grow them well. Psilocybin if you want even more lucrative. Foraging can be lucrative too but that's seasonal.
Beekeeping for raw honey is more for the love of beekeeping and not pure profit. If you get good at it you can take your hives to orchards and farms and sell your services to them, that's where the money is.
Growing native plant seedlings for pollinators can be lucrative depending where you are, especially if seeds are hard to come by.
You could breed shrimp, some of the most expensive ones go for $1000s each but you can realistically expect $50 each if you breed higher grade shrimps. They are pretty self sustaining and don't need huge tanks or alot of filtration.

- Growing High ROI Microgreens and selling locally at similar market rates (private buyers at first, then scale to restaurants, produce places as capacity increases + begin packaging & branding) .
-Same applies for growing mushrooms (lions mane, chaga, shiitake etc) except you can expand to selling kits, spores, and substrates and eventually package them into capsules as supplements
- Rare fish/caviar/shrimp/snake/insect/plant farming (anything ideally high demand + ROI)
- Selling rare seeds from other countries (must pass clearance). Sell 1 type of seed for about $10 each (depends on variety), which you get for about $.2-.5 each wholesale
Plants and isopods my dude. Aroid market is pretty much ded now unless you have a starting capital of a few ten thousand bucks. But Begonias and some carnivorous plants can still be profitable if you apply the sigma grindset. And spiky isopods will be bringing in the bucks for a looooong time.
Shiii those spiky isopods are sold for a lot, might give it a try. Any market for more basic isopods? Before I start with these expensive ones and kill them after a few days
Armadillidium klugii monteBlack as entry point, Cubaris sp. and Merulanella tricolor are a bit more advanced and if you find success with them, you can try spiky bois.
Alternatively, you could study botany, venture in the jungle, discover new aroids or begonias and call them something ridiculous and onions face inducing like "darthvaderianum". Then make bank bringing it into cultivation. Almost flawless plan.
Keeping hens as a hobby, making friends with them and feeding them top notch seed and feed until they lay the best spotty brown eggies. Spreading the word of the best eggies around the neighbourhood, having an endless trade network of baked goods, spare parts, homemade wine for a box or two of spotty brown eggs.
Also chucks are great fun and actually lovely as pets, once you earn their trust.
succulents are a thing, i've been thinking of selling some of my cold hardy succs for cheap, they grow like crazy so i have alot
making terrariums sounds like a great artistic hobby, also you're probably going to have some springtails, and maybe isopods, faster breeding species might be a safe bet, but if you're a high roller you can go for some slower breeding rubber duckies, more expensive, but i don't see the interest in these dying off
then there's the classic fruits and veggies, and if possible, weed is probably still a lucrative business
Propagating succulents is easy but you gotta have buyers, that's the hard part. How to convince people to buy from some shady dude's private house instead of a random big box store?
I don't think those are poached, they look too pristine to be poached
They have large commercial operations of seed raised/tissue culture already and none of those are rare species
little esoteric but when i was 15, for one year i bred picrel and made 1500 euro and spent it all on a guitar. It was fun but it worked out only because i got lucky.
I fucked up in the end and was too frustrated to start anew, plus at the time it was quite hard to have genetic variety, the guy who usually planned imports unironically said that there would not be new ones this year "because the morons scammed" him lol.
I remember that the best female laid 78 eggs which was way over my capacity, so most of the money was made selling larvae. There is a ridiculous portion dying somewhere between building the cocoon and emerging from it, so when I opened the cocoons of a batch after waiting 7 months to find them all dead I said fuck it, waited until the others emerged and just quit.
Non puppy farm dog breeding is high cost to entry.
The dogs you are breeding need to be a nice marketable breed. I helped my family with breeding Miniature Australian Shepherds (it was unplanned, the little buggers figured out how to open doors.). If you are not going into proper professional breeding, the prices you can demand is going to be less( probably).
In my case we basically broke even cost wise. The effort that went into it was probably not worth it.
particularly depending on the mama, some dogs are just not good mamas.With one I had to sit there and gently hold her down and pet her so she actually fed her babies. For the litter to get fed someone had to be down there to make sure she put up with it long enough.
On the plus side. puppies are adorable and even doing it once may not enrich your wallet, but enrich your heart.
Sick, I’m getting into beetle breeding and my gold stags and rainbow stags have just recently emerged. There’s very few beetle breeders here despite other inverts being popular so I’d like to try get as many species as possible breeding
thats so cool. Did you rear them in kinshi or flakesoil? I never really got into stag beetles and restricted myself to Cetoniiae, but i did have some of the smaller ones from new guinea, they're funny little guys. Do you plan to pin them eventually? I always find it sad how little of their lives they actually spend as a beetle.
First thing's first. Do your parents have six figure incomes? No? Then you're fucked. That's the new economy. HARD CASTE SYSTEM. But one where retarded NPCs are the Brahmins. Enjoy the apocalypse.
If you're born upper middle class you can basically do whatever the fuck you want and you'll make money because you have infinite safety net and nepotistic connections.

Alpaca wool. The prices the alpaca wool clothes go for are outrageous

dairy cow isopods, they are insanely popular due to their colors, ease of care, and low price, you won't run out of buyers for these

No racism pls
Animal breeding of course.

Breeding ornamentals, as in creating new varities

>poaching is a side hustle
>causing instability in an already fragile ecosystem to satisfy your own needs
Kys subhuman
Thats why I asked on Wauf, and not on Wauf
Taking plants from their habitat is still poaching you retard
Like a supermarket or a garden centre?
>leaf falls off a jade plant
>put it in a pot

>wait for a leaf to fall off

I don't think those are poached, they look too pristine to be poached

What makes you think they’re poached?
little esoteric but when i was 15, for one year i bred picrel and made 1500 euro and spent it all on a guitar. It was fun but it worked out only because i got lucky.
I've looked into reptile breeding but snakes in particular seem to be a pyramid scheme
Is non puppy farm dog breeding lucrative?
That's awesome
What made you stop? How many beetles could you get from one pairing?

Flake soil. I’d like to get into cetoniinae but I’d have to go collect some. I’ll probably end up pinning them
What kind of guitar?
A black one

Yes, but i want to do something fun and Wauf related and make some sweet cash money I can then spent on more Wauf garbage
I've seen someone on Etsy sell their rabbit's poop as fertilizer
