Seeker Details

Past and Present Farming Experience:

I spent my childhood on any farm I could. Most of my experience is with horses, but I also worked with goats, chickens and geese. I am looking for a farm so that I can start a business raising rabbits for meat, small batch dog food and more.

Types Of Enterprises Considered:

Livestock

,

Sheep

,

Business Plan and/or future farming vision and goals:

Yes I do. I want to open a doggie daycare utilizing 1-2 acres of land. By having just 15-20 dogs daily Monday-Friday would provide a large part of the income for the property. I am raising rabbits to use as dog food and plan to offer homemade dog food to our daycare clients and surrounding area as a type of CSA but for dogs. All the ingredients grown or raised on the property or sourced locally. I want to add sheep and goats to raise for meat to be sold at local markets or as part of the CSA extending the offerings to include the people connected to the dogs I feed.
