Hi folks! We are a small farm seeking funding to help us expand our infrastructure. We live on our historic homeplace which has been in the family since 1900. Our rural location means that we travel to market our products to the nearest metropolitan area (Atlanta, GA).
We love what we do but it’s a constant struggle to maintain our sales income and pay bills (like so many others). We have worked hard to keep our credit dependence as low as possible but we carry enough debt (mortgage, vehicle financing, backup for expenses) that it’s difficult to get traditional loans.
We have an active customer base and hope to continue our farm business into retirement. If we can raise the funds to add a greenhouse it would make a huge difference for our production capacity. Funding of $10,000 would make this possible.
Thank you for your consideration!
