General farming (3 years+) - I lived on a chicken farm my boyfriend managed and assisted him with everything daily. Also have been growing large vegetable gardens for past 5 years, wanting to expand.
Do you have a business plan?
Yes - I have an idea of what I would like to do.. essentially just grow veggies like crazy and some bedding flowers/ hanging baskets- to sell at a summertime produce stand, and local stores.
Do you have financial resources available to start your farm?
Yes - I do have savings available to me to purchase anything I require. Just don't have enough to buy land.
Do you have access to other financial resources (such as a financial partner, loan, etc.) to start your farm?'
