I am in the process of planning for next year. We need to make our farm more profitable so is can sustain all the livestock without drawing from our paychecks. And then we will work on the rest drawing revenue.
The plan that I would like to see is not simple and will take effort. I need to get our replacement hens going, so they will be laying as the old hens retire. I need a productive garden next spring so I can participate at the farmers market more fully. I am thinking heritage veggies and herbs. The garden will take alot of planning due to the wind here in the mouth of the canyon.
The Alpaca fiber needs to be processed into products that people will want.
Fall is approaching very quickly, winter preparation needs to be in full swing. It seems that the farm projects never end. Planting new pastures, building and repairing fence, new hen house, irrigating, hauling hay, the list goes on and on.
I love the work, the lifestyle, the effort, the animals, and the land. Now to choose the most profitable crops and start soil prep.
