What WE need to START

Look At This

Experienced people say:
All we need to do a good job are:

Transportation

Can use pedal-powered vehicles: bicycles, tricycles, 4 wheelers (1-4 passengers, pickup). They have low investment and low
operational costs. Youth and those on a low budget will find this works.
Bicycles: Transportation from home to farm, pull trailers, etc.
4 wheeled vehicles: One or more people from home to farm, pickup, tour vehicles. Pull trailers.
Trailers: Carry produce to market and recyclable waste to farm. Display small animals.

Equipments:

Use only hand tools: digging fork (flat tines-sandy soil; square tines-clay soil), hoe, shovel, etc. Little power equipment is
necessary. With more acreage, a spader will dig the raised beds pulled behind a 14 hp or larger tractor. Axles can be altered to
run the wheels in the permanent tracks between beds up to 8' wide.
Small-scale equipment hand powered, pedal-powered, electric powered.
