Hello everyone! My name is Jacob and I own and operate a small farm in middle GA. I'm here to learn as much as I can from everyone here and use those new tools/ideas to improve my farm and help others to do the same.
@Steve Thomas thank you! Collectively my farm sits on close to 7 acres in total. Iโm looking at some acreage around the size youโre working with. I really want to expand my sheep and cattle operation and if the market is good, possibly get into a market garden/you pick garden operation. I mainly grow for my family but we do sell our excess at the farmers market. How are the markets there? I believe yโall are in summer correct?
@Sharon Miller most of my meat sales are pork as well. I sell lamb at auction and that fetches a decent price but beef we keep for ourselves. We raise Dexter cattle and here at least, people arenโt very keen on smaller grass fed cuts.
