Business Plan/Goals
Do you have a business plan? Please write an informative description of your vision & goals for your farming future.:
I am interested in all aspects of farming and providing food for the local community. For a short/ long term lease arrangement I would focus on vegetables, possibly some strawberries, and short term crops. I have hoophouses and would build those on site to allow for some season extension. When I am able to purchase land my focus is to add more fruits, berries, perennial crops, and vegetables. Also interested in land for growing grains, especially wheat, or dry beans. I'm very open to exploring all options. Currently running a small farm and working a full time off farm job to continue saving towards my farm. My future farm will have to be located near Cincinnati/ the surrounding counties.
