Hi Hook family...thanks for the
advice.
I look on my gettin' into market
farmin' as an adventure...and hard work:-) and have my work cut out for me with
so much to learn and do...but heck I ain't gonna sit in my rockin' chair yet:-)
I'll be retired...whats that?:-)..five years this comin' Sept.
Right now I'm buildin' a 12' by
16' garden shed...when thats done I'm gonna build a deck on the back of the
house. At some point..before winter.. my son and I have 16 cords of fire
wood to cut and split. Also plan on clearin' some land on my place for my market
garden. Will rent an excavator and do the stumpin' myself.
My land is on the bank of the
York river...so I plan on havin' the water tested to see if I can use it to
water my gardens. Also plan on puttin' up a high electric fence to keep out the
critters that like to munch on my home garden and plants..:-) Probably won't do
that till spring.
Ayup...I plan on statin' small
and raise as good quality a product as I can. Will spend some time at the
markets..as you say..to get the scoop on that part of the
operation.
Got my work cut out for me:-)
Before I ferget...I'm 45 miles south of Portland....and they do have a nice
market under cover there. Franklin
