[QUOTE="CottageFarm, post: 849821, member: 16552"] I can see the possibilities for the just starting out hobby farmer, but i think it's a pretty small market in most parts of the country right now. While you have a "movement" to capitalize on, you are also hampered by a sluggish economy. Speaking for myself, I can't even afford to do all of the infrastucture improvements that I want, so my consultants are right here on this board, and there is a plethora of research info on the internet, which is how I found this board. Again, I can only speak for myself, but I won't finance any part of my operation, and all revenue goes back into seeds, equipment, facilities, more animals, feed....and IF (:lol:) someday, there happens to be anything left over, my hubby gets to buy another tractor. Bottom line, it has enough possibilities to be viable, so I woouldn't give up on the idea...But I wouldn't recommend you quit you day job to do it either. It's the sort of thing that you could certainly start as a sideline business & see if it's something you could build on from there. [/QUOTE]
