Alrighty. Long story short I've worked in Food and Beverage for almost 15 years in the front of house serving and bartending and desperately need a change of pace.

The last year and a half I've been working at a restaurant for a large corporate hotel, easy money but too much stress at times and the work is unfulfilling.

I've been asking for about a year what they are doing with kitchen prep scraps and they desperately want me to take them. In fact they will pay me to take them as it's corporate policy. I have had trouble sleeping since having this most recent convo, they want to pay me to take away this stuff.

It's a rather large Hotel and in they break ground on another Hotel this year across from the current Hotel. That space will be 4x the size of the current Hotel. They pride themselves on locally sourced produce and get only minimal veggies and fruits from Sysco. Touring some of these producers facilities would be an option as they are local and that would allow me to check IPM / pesticides / general practices.

Do you see what I'm getting at here? Am I crazy to pursue this as a business opportunity? Almost 1000 rooms, banquets, restaurants etc..

I've got space here to do some work, almost an acre and I have 2 workshops on property of significant size but they both need a little work. Sourcing manure would be fairly easy as I am surrounded by horse farms.

I'm ready to take this head on and get busy but would like some insight from people in the business. This sub has been a place of joy for me since I've started and I've learned so much it only seems natural to ask here. Thank you for your time.
