There's no way you will make enough money off the land to keep a family.

Not if you do what everybody here does (produce low quality products for the coperativa) But making money is possible if you do something different. In Pinell de brai for instance there is an English couple that do things different. They make high quality products and export these directly themselves. Seems they are doing quite well:
