All set to go!

I've been anxious the last little while that I don't have enough land in order to really make a go of this business. Well............I've had my eye on the perfect piece of property: flat, sunny, large, great location and already used for agricultural purposes. I've driven, and run, by it countless times and finally plucked up the courage to knock on the door to ask if I could use the land. They said YES!!!! This is soooooo exciting, I can hardly believe it. I now have so much space I couldn't possibly use it all at first!

I can't wait to publish pictures of this same land overflowing with veggies. So it is all systems go - there is no stopping me now. Paul has offered to rototiller the farm land (a BIG job!) and he has built me a large hoophouse/greenhouse at his place that I will use for propagation - thank you again Paul!!


Now that things are falling nicely into place I have some more infrastructure details to work out, but I'm getting there slowly. I've spent a lot of time researching how other small farms operate and reading as much literature as I can. I've ordered many many seeds, built spreadsheets indicating when to plant and when to harvest each one. Now I just have to put all this knowledge into practice!

Keep posted!!
