A Upick Farm Diversifies Its Income Streams

Theresa Draper has up to 10 people relying on her, and her Upick farm for their income. Draper has found that by diversifying her 40 acre farm, adding added value products, and being creative, for example, opening an old farm house to vacationers as a “farm stay”, she has been able to carry herself, and her employees throughout the year. As we see in the video, Draper continues to seek out new income streams with a steady eye toward her economic future, a future solidly connected to her family’s scenic Upick farm in Hood River area of Oregon.
