General farming (3 years+) - Community Garden and at our balcony
Do you have a business plan?
Yes - Business Background and Experience I am the owner of educational travel agency, which is a Vancouver-based company that I established in 2004. I have over 20 years of experience managing and operating my own business, including financial management, business planning, customer relations, marketing, and coordinating various projects.
Although I do not have professional farming experience, I have been growing vegetables and fruits in a community garden and at home for many years, additionally learned from University. Gardening has been a long-standing passion of mine, and I am now interested in developing this passion into a small-scale agricultural business. I believe my business management experience, combined with my enthusiasm for growing fresh produce, will provide a strong foundation for establishing and gradually expanding a sustainable farming business. I understand that farming requires specialized knowledge, and I plan to continue learning and seeking guidance from experienced local farmers as I develop the farm.
Do you have financial resources available to start your farm?
Yes - from my saving
Do you have access to other financial resources (such as a financial partner, loan, etc.) to start your farm?'
No

Farm Project Description
Farm Project Description
Our goal is to establish a small-scale, sustainable farm focusing primarily on fruit trees and seasonal vegetables that require relatively low maintenance.
We plan to grow a variety of fruits, including figs, kiwis, and berries, depending on the soil conditions and suitability of the local climate. A portion of the land will also be used to grow seasonal vegetables.
During the first year, we will focus on preparing the land, improving soil quality, planting fruit trees, and establishing an efficient irrigation system. We also plan to grow seasonal vegetables and berries that can produce harvests in the earlier stages of the project.
In the following years, we will continue developing the orchard, maintaining the trees, and gradually increasing production as the fruit trees mature.
We intend to use environmentally responsible farming practices, including composting, soil improvement, water conservation, and natural pest management whenever practical.
Our long-term vision is to create a productive and well-maintained farm that provides fresh, locally grown fruits and vegetables to the surrounding community.
We also hope to use some of our harvests to develop value-added products, such as jams and preserves, in the future.
