Do you have a business plan?
Yes - Sort of. I've done one through Ownr online. It does not look great around the pricing, but i think i have most of it. esn't look the greatest in my phone, so not sure how good it was. Had issues with attempting to do the pricing parts.
Do you have financial resources available to start your farm?
No - I have a small farm started already with goats, pigs, rabbits, and chickens. Built it all from nothing, buying or finding what i need as i go. Built most things out of free pallets.
Do you have access to other financial resources (such as a financial partner, loan, etc.) to start your farm?'
Yes - I would love to find any financial investors i can to build and grow. Would be interested in all things listed: land, investors and grants.
