Have you ever considered quail? I would think there would be a market for meat & eggs with them too (but I don't know your area).
Can you do some sort of solar heating for your greenhouse? Maybe you could do the tilapia then. And maybe grow things you wouldn't ordinarily grow in the winter months?
I want to do solar and Wind power for electricity. .... for the green house Possibly a Rocket Mass Heater then do a heat exchange system for the main house... We are talking a one bed one bath house with one foot thick walls and an R value of more then twenty. I can use a single oil heater for my bedroom and it will get so hot I have to turn it way down.
we do get snow but only about seventy two hours of it total.... over the course of a few weeks in the winter. But IN the desert the wind is Very cold and will blow through the screens so that they Scream.... Horse loves it though... I do want to build her a wind break
Rocket mass heater
The whole concrete looking thing is the mass heat exchange system often times they are integrated as a place to sit... Th 55 gallon drum is part of the system...
Here is a prettier one
My green house is on grade on a slab... and shares one wall with the main house. Right now the one window is a chainlink gate so will have to do something like a window or sliding glass doors.
Rocket stoves are incredibly efficient they burn so efficiently they put out very little in the form of gas.... and ash.
The deal is there are several clubs that teach this form of construction here in San Diego. I am hoping to fund the materials for the class to build me one.
