Hey Marj and any one else new to farming (or experienced farmers wanting to
switch/add on enterprises),

I ran across a book put out by SARE you might be interested in and the whole
text is online (280 pgs)! Building a Sustainable Business: A Guide to
Developing a Business Plan for Farms and Rural Businesses. It was published
in 2003 so the info is very current. It goes into depth with questions &
worksheets in 4 major areas: Marketing, Operations, Human Resources &
Finance. It makes sure "you have fully researched your idea, mapped out
production and marketing strategies, and that you know how to sell your
product."

Here's a link to the pdf (each section/chapter is a separate pdf but worth
the small aggravation!):

A print edition can also be ordered for $14
