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.
