Is it possible that they don't want to show to much about that side. Seeing the size an volume of the avacados, I would say there is an income. Then in one video I see one of the girls open a chocolate sapota. Omg the income potential there alone could be significant depending on how many trees. I live in Shellharbour NSW and will go to this farm next season just for those Sapotas. She said grandparents planted over a thousand trees. It's possible this land was inherited, so no land payment or house payment. Just because they are not showing us their process or income is no evidence of permaculture failure.
Have you been there??
It looks fascinating to me and next year I will find them and meet them.
