Chris,

LOL! I question your sanity, too! ;)

I've got two spots. One is the 1000 sq ft I dug up in my backyard 6
months ago when I took this insane plunge. That's located were we live
about 8 miles north of Benson. The other area that I'm borrowing from my
friend is currently about 5000 sq ft (with up to 10 acreas that can
actually be used -- but I doubt I'd ever want to get that big) in the town
of Whetstone about 10 miles north of Sierra Vista. It's an idea location
for a "Farm Stand" if I choose to try that option. It's right off of a
very busy highway (State Route 90) about a mile north of where it
intersects with SR 82.

I actually plan on having the Bisbee Co-op as one of my wholesale
customers. Gonna be going down there this week to talk to them about it.
I'm certainly not going to be able to supply all their veggeies, but if I
can supply a few, I'll be happy.
