Hi James
Thanks for your honest critique.
Selling class time is easier then selling farm/ permie fruits, products.
 There are too many sites now that offer vip info, paid webinar secrets. All 2D
 The Map is not the Territory!
 Time/ Space are critical to Experience.
 I’m awaiting response from these guys in this space. Lotsa promos come here. Finding friends to dig in w us is a diff sport.
Thanks to All

Hi Sera
Thanks for your interest. Here we are very hands on with Goatey Ma’s. Maybe fiber goats hang in pasture without much interaction. Have you worked w goats?  Been on a goat farm? Lots to learn just caring for them. And, theres the Milk that needs daily attention. We spend about 5 hrs a day- goat milking, walking, feeding, processing or bottling milk. 7 days a week. Best shared. The trick is- doing the math, the fence, our time, going to town to deliver, freezing surplus. Goats gotta pay their way. Can fiber goats? Know of someone who is making a living w fiber? Many more steps before sales.
Yes, helping an established farm is better than starting from scratch. Tell me more about your capacity to dedicate yourself. The Permie part of permie.

Greetings All
We’re a Large place with many veggies, medicinals, perennial plantings and Goatey Ma’s an hr from Staunton, Va.
You ask, how can they co- exist? With a Shepardess, my friend.
Goateys dwell in a large secure area, we go out for Browse walks 1-2x a day with our Great Pyrenees dog along miles of farm roads and edge.
6 Does are kidding in March- April  brings 5-6 gal of milk a day for our herdshare market including cheese yogurt, kefir.  Milking once a day by machine. All organic feed. Fun bunch of monkeys. Slow but lucrative market.
 We’re working on a new community kitchen with private and common rooms.
 Growing everything possible in zone 7. Lotsa small hoop houses & one large. Lotsa irrigation systems, lotsa water ! Lotsa room for your grow projects as well as help with ours. Value added, ferments, Sourdough, kitchen work is great for those hot afternoons. If you’ve never been above zone 4 the peppers & tomatoes are worth a trip.
Every cheese maker keeps pigs for consuming whey. Making  different cheese 4-+ days a week.
This is not a ‘job’ we share our profits, provide food, shelter, your phone bill.  Ver I son phone works best. Rural internet too high priced but Possible.  
  Best to have a car. Extra $% for Sat farmers mkt set up. Will train. Start Soon. Sorry, no minors.
Meanwhile, we’re growing feed for goats, rabbits, ducks & pigs. Have hay equip yet to polish n run. Enough tractor power to never lift 50#.  Lotsa building materials and improvements everywhere.
Let us know your interest & questions.
Thanks, Best
Chris Bloom
