Hello,
I am new to the list-and per instructions, am
introducing myself.
I have a small farm(15 acres) in Southeastern
Ohio-pretty much(10 miles from) on the Ohio River. Have had a multitude of
experience in my past lives-(I have been a factory worker, heavy equipment
operator and a computer programmer!)- and after recently being laid off due to
the economy, am trying my hand at farming fulltime.
My parents grew Christmas trees on their farm
on a parttime basis,so I have that in my background also.
With the help of a mentor who had retired from the
perennial plant business, I planted and grew approx. 1500 mums for wholesale and
retail sales this fall. Also selling at the local farm market in Marietta,
Ohio.
So I"m closing in on the end of that.
Also going to erect a high tunnel and
greenhouse(used that I bought from above mentioned mentor) to grow out of season
crops, and planting 1/2 acre of garlic now for next year. I'm interested in
growing other field crops for niche markets.
I heard about this list through the high tunnel
list serv sponsored by Kansas state university-one of the members mentioned this
listtserv as a good information source.
thanks in advance for your help and
information!
