Hello, Im Joshua Crissen, owner Of Promised Land Farm, Greene County IN. We are in Zone 6a. I raise 8 acres of vegetables,working on establishing at least 5 acres of  fruit, we raise 600 pastured pearl leghorns for eggs, raise and process 500 turkeys , we fatten 20 stocker cattle, and rear 100 goats. We are building a 55 foot by 210 foot hoophouse, and we've erected a 42 by 192 foot hoophouse. The Hoophouses are a new direction for our vegetable enterprise, we are planning to expand our vegetable acreage by 4 acres, we are wanting to start marketing through a produce auction this year. We have been growing the previous acreage for contract. With the hoop structures we are aiming for some of the lucrative early markets. We are not (my family and I) getting rich, but thats not what farming is about, its a way of life, I love everyday of it and would not do anything else.
Josh
