Wanting to expand our endeavors, we added sweet corn to our farm. We have committed 4.5 acres to our fully organic farming practice. These number are expected to grow by the hundreds up to thousands in the coming years. On top of sweet corn, we plan to add up to 7 more organic vegetable varieties by 2024. To date, these small-scale projects have taught the girls a work ethic, a commitment for taking care of things and an appetite to sell products. This has allowed them to see the full cycle of running a business, ultimately putting a little money in their pockets and starting on the path towards savings. As the farm continues to grow so does their knowledge of business.
But where do we go from here? We had no reason to believe that we would enter the row crop farming game and be a market disrupter. Therefore, we went looking at how we could have an impact in farming, be a pioneer in agriculture, add margin to traditional farming practices, sell into a market that was trending higher, be different and seek to grow our operation. This is where industrial hemp came into the picture.
