Hi Beth...I must confess that
I'm not as yet a market-farmer...just a wanna be..:-) I follow this forum..and a
few others to learn as much as I can. Presently I'm just a serious home
gardener...that grows for family and a bunch of friends. I have been gardenin'
for over 30 years...so I'm not unfamiliar with alot of practices that the small
farmer uses...just havn't done it myself yet on a large scale. Actually there is
one heck of a lot more to it then I thought...when you get beyond the home size
of gardening.
The area that I want to expand
to has trees on it...so I've got my work cut out for me. Gonna clear off an acre
and stump it with rented excavator for starters..:-) The just start small and if
it works out within reason I'll expand on down the road. There are a number of
farmers markets in this area. Franklin
