We have cooking classes and I take the neighborhood kids to milk a cow and cut wheat. We then grind flour to make bread and churn cream to make butter. The classes can attract more customers too.

Competing against the big guys and importers is a waste of time, IMHO. I
strive to produce what's in demand, but not commonly available (value added
products), such as; honey, hive products, blackberry products, certain
vegetables, and grass-fed beef. Future plans include "value added" products
favored by local ethnic and social groups.

Having said this, I've also noticed some social problems that absolutely
amaze me, and could be at the very root of our problems. Young people don't
know what to do with what we produce! Hard to believe, but true.
