Koaseli asked:
Business gurus I need your help! My husband and I want to start an organic farm. We, like many, don’t have enough money to get a substantial amount of property. We want to have a few head of cattle, sheep, a good amount of chickens and grow an organic garden. We’ve looked into USDA government loans and that many be a option for us, but I wanted to know what our options would be for investors. I know a handful of people who might consider investing with us, but I don’t know the slightest about the whole process.
Is this idea even an option? What type of deals would be made for investors? What could we offer them?
Any info would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

Anna asked:
I am thinking about starting an organic garden center business. I do not have any experience with retail. Another option that I am considering is to become a landscape designer. It seems like going the landscape designer route would be less risky than entering the retail world, but I have to say I am drawn to the garden center business. Any ideas, advice? What should I consider before making my decision? Any advice would be helpful and appreciated.

My husband and I and our 3 young children (3,6,8)bought our second home last year.It sits on 3 acres in west. PA.-about a 1/2 acre is wooded.I have always been a gardening enthusiast,although I still have quite a lot to learn-especially in the area of organic gardening.I am,however,constantly reading up to learn as much as possible.My hope is to start a small scale organic veg. buisness over the next 2 years.There are quite a few farmers markets in the area where I could at least get my start.I’m also interested in selling to restaraunts in the area.Finally,most of the responsibilities of the buisness would fall on me as my husband works full time outside the home.I am currently a stay at home mom and believe that this would be a great way for me to do what I love and believe in while I continue to stay home with my children.Any advice,experiences or resources anyone can share would be very much appreciated.
