Marketing

An important factor is marketing.

This applies especially to anyone who proposes to rely to any extent on the sale of vegetables or flowers.

Is the holding within reach of a market town where produce can be disposed of?

Are you in a tourist area where you can develop a farm-gate trade?

If you are proposing to concentrate on organically grown produce are you sure you can obtain a premium price for it See 'From Ideas to Practice'.

If you are proposing to market organic produce it would be worth your while to seek advice from Organic Farmers & Growers.
