I will be introducing this project a couple months ahead of schedule for reasons that will become clear in the next paragraph. Please take your time with these ideas, and know that what I reveal of the plan in this post is an early introduction omitting many of my favorite designs. Even before I had much of this plan conceptualized, I was dreaming of how'd I'd introduce it... so I'm hanging on to what shred of mystery I might lol, and I'm hoping that when the time comes, soon, you'll be there to help me introduce this dream to Hanford. Again, I don't speak on many of the mechanisms I've designed into this plan, mechanisms that excite my imagination and which I think make this project unique in the world. If the following interests you, and you are interested in hearing more. Message me through the page, which you should follow if you haven't already.
There is some cherished family land up for sale that I wish to farm on. The land is a 1.2 acre partition of a 2.8 acre property. The 1.2 acres is co-owned by my grandfather and my uncle. My uncle is sick and wants to sell, grandpa is fine with me buying out my uncle and farming. There was a deal but it fell through, giving me a chance at the property. I have until Aug 24th to come up with the funds. $60,000. The farm-able land is 1.6 acres with the larger property having 2 wells, and an access road. Available for use is the equipment needed to prepare the land, a barn, and additional space adequate for greenhouses and composting.
The farm I'll be starting (hopefully at home) will be regenerative, and bio-intensive, with a focus on the nutrient quality of the produce, and soil biology. Similar farms, in size and practices, are making $100k+ a year with a 40% profit margin.. although, we do not intend to charge the same premium (making nutrient-dense food accessible is the plan). Also, as you will see below, we will be managing our own diverse sales channels, saving 15-30% in distribution fees. As plant and soil health grow more robust, they become naturally immune to pests and disease. I will soon be enrolling in The Soil Foodweb School With Dr. Elaine Ingham which will gain me the microscopy skills to analyze fungal/bacteria populations in soil and compost samples, and the knowledge to craft the needed amendments. We will be collecting data in many other ways too, such as measuring the total dissolved solids (or Brix) in plant sap - a measurement that correlates with a plant's photosynthetic efficiency; brix and plant health go hand in hand. And healthy food = healthy humans.
