Do you have a business plan?
No

No
Do you have access to other financial resources (such as a financial partner, loan, etc.) to start your farm?'
Yes - I could start with very little money, I already have most of the supplies and a truck to help haul things but could use some money to pay for seed, green house building supplies, fertilizers, petisides etc.
Project
Farm Name
Passion Growers Inc
Farm Project Description
I'd like to grow microgreens as the main crop. Which I would do inside basic econimical greenhouses that I will build myself
I'd like to grow basically every fruit and vegetable that grows in the Vancouver area outside seasonally.
I'd like to raise free range chickens for egg production and possible meat but I'm more on the vegetarian side.
This is what I'd like to start off with and then hopefully sell my food to local farm markets, people and businesses in the Vancouver Area.
