SHOW NOTES
If you are interested in this business you will need to start with a quality rabbit hutch!
ADVICE FROM RAMONA & CHRIS:
RESEARCH: You have got to know your market, and you have to find it through research.
EXPERTISE: You should know more about about your particular business than anyone else. This comes from your research combined with your experience.
TIME: You are going to need a lot more time to devote to your business than you are initially thinking. Make sure to set aside enough and you should probably increase your estimate of time you will need for the business by 50%.
PLAN: Plan everything out. Not just so you know how to get where you are going, but so you know where you going to.
RAMONA AND CHRIS’S PERSONAL HABIT THAT IS CONTRIBUTING TO THEIR SUCCESS:
STUBBORNESS: Ramona describes herself as being very stubborn – not willing to give up on something until all avenues are exhausted. Chris agrees with this description of her!
TENACITY: Chris describes himself as a tenacious planner, studier and builder. He states that he will study a plan for several days before he drives the first nail or breaks ground. But, once he starts he is going to finish
BEST BUSINESS ADVICE THAT RAMONA AND CHRIS HAVE RECEIVED:
PRICE: Ramona answered this question with the advice she had received from a mentor – create something that is needed and wanted, and then sell it at a reasonable price while making a profit. Ramona states that we are in business not just to make money, but also to help other people.
BOOK RECOMMENDATION:
For being self sufficient and building your farm, Ramona and Chris recommend the following book – The Foxfire Book: Hog Dressing, Log Cabin Building, Mountain Crafts and Foods, Planting by the Signs, Snake Lore, Hunting Tales, Faith Healing, Moonshining, and Other Affairs of Plain Living

How to sell compost tea
Matt Brechwald
Hi Elston. Thanks for commenting. Is there a question in there?
Elston Dirks
Yes how where is a good place to sell compost tea organic gardens or organic farmers
Matt Brechwald
I would definitely think organic farmers and gardens both. I would not limit myself just to “certified organic” though. I bet you could sell the idea to many farmers and gardeners who are not seeking organic certification but would like the “natural” concept.
