we have a family owned farm that will serve the community with sales of organic produce. we seek $50,000 in funding to convert the property for our intende use - growing organic vegetables for local sale. we have strong community support from the local area and pledges of restaurants and supermarkets to accept our produce after harvest.
The initial funding will be used to purchase equipment, prepare fields and sow our first crops.we anticipate that after selling our first years harvest we'll have sufficient funds to invest in all neccesary products for our second year and experience 100% profit. because we are selling locally, we'll not be influenced by the flactuating prices of the nation wide agricultural market.
we plan to expand our market and our community involment as we groe. we plan to grow a variety of crops according to the demands of local consumers.
