What If I Could Show You A Way to Start-up*, Market, and Manage A Successful Market Garden Business?
*Even Starting With Very Few Resources of Your Own!
Why YES, money does grow in my garden!
Does one of these describe your situation? - An aspiring market gardener seeking a clear path to success?
- A small farmers looking to expand into direct-to-market sales?
- Someone passionate about growing food and creating a meaningful livelihood?
I whole-heartedly support that ambition. Market gardening is the
best ‘job’ I ever had. And the world needs MANY new small growers.
So what's stopping you?
In my experience, in farming and business, the biggest roadblock
is also the most important thing you need to make your dream a reality: you need a plan to get there. Without a plan, where will you find the capital to launch your business? How
will you find customers? How will you manage your market garden business over
the long haul? Sounds
daunting, right?
If you are tired of just dreaming about starting a successful market garden, I can help. Transform your vision into reality with Bootstrap Market Gardening, your comprehensive guide to planning, marketing, and managing your garden for profit.
Here’s
a Plan To Start-up, Market, and Manage a Successful Market Garden Business
A couple
years after we bought New Terra Farm I was looking for a way to make more money
on my small property. After a lot of reading and research I settled on a
business model that promised to fulfill my small farm dreams. This model
showed me how I could 'bootstrap' my business without a lot of cash money up
front. It showed
me how I could basically lock-in my
customers. And it
provided the ability to start at a level I could manage as a 'newbie', then
grow as big as I desired as I gained experience. My first market garden was
about 1/4 acre. A couple years later we had grown that garden to feed more than
90 families each week. Bottom
line: I strongly believe two things: 1. North
America NEEDS many new small local growers 2. By
following a proven system, just about anybody (with the motivation to do so)
can launch and operate a market garden business. Here's that proven system!
Introducing 'Bootstrap Market Gardening'!
20 years
ago when Suzie and I launched our first Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) garden
we didn’t have a lot of guidance. With time, we figured out the answers to about
a thousand questions about running a market garden. In 2006 I
wrote about our experience for the Ministry Of Agriculture in Ontario. Low and
behold, we won a prize for ‘Agri-Food Innovation’. Came with a nice plaque - and
a nice $5,000 cheque! So I
decided, if our experience was that valuable, I would write the market garden
business book I wish I had when I started. Since then I’ve added and expanded
my Bootstrap Market Gardening Book into a complete course, including text,
workbooks and supporting software. 'Bootstrap Market Gardening' is your step-by-step guide to launching a successful market garden based on
Community Supported Agriculture
(CSA) principles. CSA solves many start-up problems. In the CSA model customers subscribe to your market garden , paying in advance to receive a share of vegetables each week throughout the growing season. This
advance payment let's you BOOTSTRAP your garden i.e. start up without a
lot of cash of your own. When I figured this out, I was actually able
to start my business with just $300 for some promotional flyers - and I put that on a credit card! What You'll Gain with Bootstrap Market Gardening:
- Proven Step-by-Step Plan: Learn how to start small and scale as you grow.
- Cost-Efficient Tips: Leverage advance payment through the CSA model to fund your start-up.
- Sustainability Focus: Adopt eco-friendly, practical methods that benefit both your wallet and the planet.
I can't guarantee you an award, but I do have a 100% money-back guarantee if you find Bootstrap Market Gardening doesn't deliver real value!
95% Of New
Businesses Fail In The First Five Years - SCARY!
You have
probably heard the scary statistic that ‘95% Of New Businesses Fail In The
First Five Years’. Here’s
something I learned In my ‘other life’ as a consultant specializing in planning
and performance measurement: business failure is almost always a result of planning failure. Businesses
fail because they didn’t have a good plan to raise start-up money. They didn’t
have a plan to find customers. Or they didn't have a plan to manage and operate
their business efficiently. Failing to plan is planning to fail, as they say. Here's how you beat the odds!
95% Of New Businesses Fail - But That's NOT YOU!
Build a real plan to launch a real business on your own terms
'Bootstrap Market Gardening' is your step-by-step guide to start-up, market and manage a successful market garden business. And, (very important to a new grower) you can start small and grow as
you learn! My first garden was less than a quarter-acre in size. Over time our garden got bigger, and we subsequently grew to serve more than 90 families. This
concept is easy enough to grasp. But... you still need to know 'the
details' of what you are doing, or failure is still a possibility. This Guide is my way of helping to grow the new growers the world desperately needs.
Enhance Your Chance Of Market Garden Success With A Proven Plan
HERE'S THE KEY: Market gardening isn't just about planting seeds; it's about launching a business.
There are lots of gardening books out there, but it's hard to find good information about starting a successful market garden BUSINESS. Do you
agree your chances of success in your new business would be enhanced by a proven
process for planning, marketing,
management, and operations? Here’s what
that looks like: 1. PLANNING
is the fun part: you decide how much money you want to make from your market
garden, and how many customers you need to make that happen; 2.
MARKETING is reaching out and finding those customers and telling them what you
have to offer and inviting them to buy. TIP: there is an easy, non-sleazy way
to get your customers to sign up. And, they pay you in advance for the season! 3.
MANAGEMENT means answer a few questions about how you will run your market
garden business. How much space will you need, and where to find it? How will
you organize garden work? TIP: you can find space for your garden even if you
don't own a farm. 4.
PRODUCTION means lying out your garden efficiently and growing, harvesting and
processing your delicious veggies for appreciative customers. That’s what
you will find in Bootstrap Market Gardening!
WAIT! I Have Questions!
Market
gardening, especially these days with the growing demand for local food and
increasing concerns about food security, is an exciting opportunity. But If you
are thinking about this opportunity seriously, I’m sure that questions are
popping up in your mind right about now. Here’s what I’ve heard from other new or
soon-to-be Bootstrap Market Gardeners: Q: I don't have much (or ANY) business experience. Can I still start a market garden?
A: Absolutely! 'Bootstrap Market Gardening' is designed for people with little to no experience in business or farming. My 4-step system is easy to follow and will guide you through the entire process of starting and running a successful market garden. Q: How much money do I need to start a market garden?
A: One of the best things about CSA market gardening is that it can be started with minimal investment. 'Bootstrap Market Gardening' will show you how to create a successful business with minimal start-up costs USING OTHER PEOPLE'S MONEY (OPM) , so you can focus on what really matters: growing and harvesting delicious, healthy produce. In fact, I was originally going to call this book No-Money-Down Market Gardening!
Q. Will people (complete strangers) actually give me money in advance, before I bring them anything from my garden? A. Sure! The 'secret' is in knowing what to tell prospective customers about your business to give them the confidence you will follow through with great garden goodies for them. I explain what to say and how to answer THEIR questions in the book.
Q: How do I market my produce and attract customers?
A: Marketing is a critical part of running a successful market garden, and 'Bootstrap Market Gardening' will show you proven strategies for attracting and retaining customers. We'll help you find the right channels to promote your business and connect with your audience. I'll even give you the exact marketing flyer I've used for many years to get customers calling me!
Q: How can I ensure my garden is sustainable and environmentally friendly?
A: Sustainability is at the heart of 'Bootstrap Market Gardening'. We'll teach you how to create a healthy and profitable garden that's also kind to the environment. From choosing the right crops to using eco-friendly practices, we'll help you create a thriving garden that you can be proud of.
