Description:
Growing blueberries and strawberries, along with other fruits and vegetable and offewring people a chance to come out and pick their own for a great family experience. I will also have honey production and offer real horse drawn hay rides. In the near future I would like to expand to include a corn maze. The place I would like to set up is near several state parks and a golf course and is on a main road. There from my research are no corn mazes and no u-pick vegetable and fruit farms. I am a hard working single mom,who has had no problem with working hard and have taken care of my family and really need to get this done. I have identical triplets that are 8 year old boys and a 13 year old boy who are great hard working kids who love the farming. When I was married I did the same type of farm set up and loved it, since my divorce I have paid off having the triplets and raised the boys with little help. I may have bad credit but that report doesn't reflect what I have done. Paid the 20% left from medical insurance from having the boys and fed,clothed,housed and loved. I am proud of that, the rest of the bills I will keep paying off as I can and according to plan will be paid off in 2 years. Now with the market doing what it is I feel this is the perfect time to purchase a small farm ( I found one for $86,000 in a great re tax area)If I was helped with this I would really like to continue it by paying back what I was given to start so that others will have the same oportunity.
