This occurred to me in the middle of the night. I should not be setting "dreams" to be accomplished in the future. To do something, someday. If foundations can be laid today, then they should start now. Life is long, but there is no time to waste. That
Before I begin, let me say this. If you have a terminal case of spreadsheet brain, then this isn't for you. If all you care about is economic value or a financial return, then this isn't for you. If you're a short-term thinker, then
These pictures are from 2022, but the land is unchanged. Will update with pictures within a few weeks. That will be to get a layout of the land. Perhaps I will be uploading a video, as well. Right now, there's about 55 acres under management, so not all
Alright, so here is the concise plan: Plant trees. Build an orchard. That's it. Nothing fancy about it. This year in 2025 we plant trees. The livestock can wait. Now, to expand a bit: Plant trees indigenous to New York State. There will be exceptions, naturally. Of course,
So right off the bat I will confess that there is no short-term, immediate benefit to supporting this campaign. If you're still in, good. If not, that is perfectly understandable. It is going to take time to have production quantities of meat, produce, and fiber. It is going
So, I suppose I should post a sample of my aesthetics. That way you can see if we're on the same page or not. This will be a combination of 1) subject matter and 2) composition. We might produce a few coffee-table cookbooks. Each book will have different
This is a work in progress list of things that need to be done. As the non-exhaustive list is long and intensive, it cannot be done by a small team. As in, production through processing through distribution. I don't think you or I or anyone expects that, but
There are two types of leverage that maximize revenue: tech and media. Tech can mean anything from software to hardware to heavy machinery. Media, of course, means... media. Books, podcasts, videos, newsletters, and things of that nature. Three, if you count capital, but that is only after profits have been
this is work in progress post. last updated: 11/05/24 tldr: Windfall Startup Budget - $2,500,000 Part and Parcel Startup Budget - $100,000 In an ideal world, then this is how it would play out if the funding dropped from the sky in one big lump
Again, the idea here is to show you my thought process. I want to produce high quality meat. Okay, so what does that mean? Well, it consists of two things: the quality of production and the quality of product. So humane treatment. In other words, stress prevention. It means raising
If you think factory farming is a disaster, if you think industrial agriculture is inhumane for both man and beast alike, then you will support this project. The project is this – I will raise heritage, landrace breeds, but also indigenous animals such as bison, deer, and elk. Produce heirloom varieties
