Biz plan fun

Sunday, March 7th, 2010 | Uncategorized

Wow there is a lot to be done when planning our little endeavor. Business plans in and of themselves aren’t that difficult to create, but research takes time. Add the needs of small children to the mix and you get an extended time line that’s nearly unacceptable. We are definitely up to the challenge, but it seems just getting there is going to be the hardest part.

On a positive note I had a meeting with our local FSA Rep and it sounds like one of the loans they make available for beginning farmers is going to be the best option for us at this point. Now to research and compile data to come up with some hard numbers for a balance sheet and projected income, write a farm experience narrative and then collect the supporting documentation to complete the application. When I get a clearer idea of our farm plan I’ll lay it all out here. What I will say is that we are taking a LONG look at aquaponics. Nearly year round production in USDA zone 3 sounds interesting.
