We have
1. investors and can buy a 10 acre farm.
2. farming skills
3. bookkeeping education and skills
4. books on the subject of business planning and the ability to learn business planning and I will be able to get help with this from a New York State small business group. I am familiar with Financial statements and can learn about proforma operating statements.
We need
1. to locate and buy suitable land
2. find someone with produce-marketing skills
The plan now is to buy land that has been fallow for awhile and does not have a history of industry on it, or abusive farming practices, including excessive use of animal waste, since that could have left heavy metals and soil pathogens. Structures on the land are optional. It may be best to custom-build energy-efficient structures but I will not rule out buying land with a house or tool-sheds already on it.
