Business Plan
We will be able to grow our business over the next 5 years if we can secure 500,000 in funding so we can build our indoor sales space and pavillion. We currently host live music at the farm on Saturday nights and and farm to table dinners using our produce. These events are a great boost to our sales. We would like to offer more on-the-farm experiences like these, but we need an indoor space in order to host the events. Our farm is located on a main highway in a rapidly urbanizing area. Our customers come to our farm not only to buy locally grown produce, wine, meats, and other farm products, but to enjoy the outdoors. We serve as a place for families to relax, hang out with farm animals, and connect with their local farmers.

Self Identified Competition
Our top three competitors are also our biggest suppliers. The farming industry is very cooperative and I'm happy to say that we help sell their food as well as our own. The Bush N Vine Barbee Farms Correll Farms Our biggest advantage is our location along a mainhighway, and, if we build this building, we will be able to better serve customers in a better atmosphere. Our product mix is extensive and we like to think of ourselves as a local grocery store.
