RE: New Dawn Farms Sowing the Seeds of Community: Shenandoah Elementary's Garden of Growth

in HiveGarden2 years ago (edited)

I can't wait to expand the program though next up is the Cash Crop Plots where I will use land in the city to produce small scale operations that should increase entrepreneurship via teaching and giving the community knowledge and skills on how to tend to cash crops and develop them into value added products such as soaps, oils and fabrics.

The beautiful thing about it is that the land plots only have to produce as much as the community members market so it allows them to establish an income source, grow their market and if they need more space they can earn the income necessary to increase their operation.

Just nailing down operational cost. I don't mind taking the hit in way of finances and time because of the farm working training and if need be I can also purchase the crops the community is unable to sell.

Its a win win situation where I can increase growing capacity, train and provide an income source while also giving the individuals 1st right to sell what ever they have grown.

If the city losses jobs we have a program for on the job training plus skill building. Ig I will start taking pictures of the city to show you guys all the unproductive land that is over grown.

Dream big, I love it.
