Sure. My parents have a couple of acres of orchard on their property they pay someone to professionally manage. If they get $5k a year from it they are pretty happy.
There are also a lot of small farms that are run by teachers (works well with the summers off).
But I think you would find that anything over 50 acres in an area with distribution options (either close to a packer for that product or urban area) CAN be a full time job if you know what you are doing and are willing to work that hard.
