Ah, yes. The business side of farming.
I have a goal this week to get all the required paperwork completed to submit for incorporation of Big Head Farm. I will also submit our logo and trademark it. Wading through all of this is very time consuming, but when you have no budget to hire a lawyer to do it for you, you just have to figure it out!
The internet is an amazing resource~ I have found just about everything that I need on the internet. This includes samples of Articles of Incorporation and instructions on how to fill out all the forms.
The next thing I need to figure out on the web is how to build my little website to start selling some advertising and making a little capital to buy the seeds to start the farm. Luckily my husband has some website building experience and he will be able to help me with it. Otherwise, web builders really charge a bunch of cash to build you a site.
My husband has really become excited about seed saving. He started with some of the veggies from my guerilla garden this past summer and has expanded to some peppers from the grocery store. We have already sprouted some of the habanero plants and they are doing just fine in their little make-shift greenhouse in our kitchen window.
I just cannot wait for the spring thaw so I can really get to work out on the land!

Yep – paperwork is a bitch. I’, glad that you’re doing it and not me. I’ll do all the heavy lifting!
