How the business is going

[possum]

We have had a lots of ups and downs with our dream to become commercial green vegie growers.
We put a sign at the beginning of this week and are averaging 2 customers per day. It is not going to makeus rich but it is helping to pay the electricity bill for the system. We are going to do a leaflet drop in a week or so (would do it now but we are running low on lettuce and that is what most people want)
We are also in talks with a church organisation who if it works out would take all the veg we can grow. they sell vegie boxes at cost to needly families so the children have a healthy diet. They buy direct from the growers to keep cost down.

It is all small steps, but in the right direction

thats good posuum, where in NZ are you located and have you logged in with ooooby.ning.com and locavore365.org, Ooooby is a good way of keeping in contact with local gardeners and locavore can help you sell you produce for free.

I haven't heard of either of those websites, I will check them out thank you.
We are on Kaitorete Spit (stick it into google, no one has heard of it)

That sounds like a really good start! Hope the church works out, sounds like an excellent idea
