I been wanting to start my own business, im going to have to check that out bro.. thanks for heads up:)
Aint nothin to it but to do it mane. ScrOGer pretty much gave us all that Ive been told and have been reading. Right now im putting prices together to try and guess at a starting price. Was talking to my lil sister and she told me; success comes from Repeatedly doing what others find to hard or boring.
for grants:
check out dept of agriculture for references to financial info (grants tax incentives etc...)
Thats the direction SBA pointed me. They pretty much told me that unless I was going to work a non profit that there were no grants.
If however I was to start the business in a rural area then I might get a grant for that through the USDA rural development. I think each state also has its own department of agriculture. In any case they also gave me a few numbers for mine and I'm looking into what I can work out there.
Definitely thanx for the tips.
Wow, ScrOGer, you're a veritable wealth of small business information.
Dex, I hope this works out! My oldest boy is learning landscape design and nursery... 'stuff' (I don't know what it's called). It's not only very interesting, but changes daily and, best of all, you get to be outside pretty much all the time.
Ha!ha...thanx Sea. I dont know what its called either. I just call it growing. I love fixing soil and plants and seeing them thrive. I also know that if someone doesn't teach farmers how to preserve the land quick, we will all be suffering. We already are.
I noticed how u are starting your own vegetables. Im looking in that direction also. I love me some food, and if I grew it Ill know im getting it done right. We see how important nutrition is to our plants, our children and us definitely need to think the same way for ourselves also.
Brix anyone??
Im surrounded by farmers and ranchers. They definitely have some of the things I have been looking for and if I get this done Ill have those contacts also. An example would be cow horns. Ive been looking into Bio dynamics and want to make some of the nutrients myself. Also I would like to make that available to others. So im helping myself and others.
Fresh milk would be another example. I always wanted to use fresh milk for my LAB but never had the contact.
Thats the part that excites me the most, knowing that it would be a revolving door.
