I'm a 24 yo male, and still fairly new to Reddit. Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Amid all the struggles that came with the pandemic, I've been able to look inward at things I like to do and how that can be provided as a service for others.

I've taken a course in college for horticulture, as plants and growing are something I've been fascinated by for multiple years. This is something I want to make a profession of, incorporating what I've learned over the years.

My idea is starting a farm, big enough to sustain different facets including CSAs (farm to fork programs) and food truck, but not so big to where each crop doesn't get the TLC I'd like to be able to provide with few employees (to start off with)

I go back and forth between what would give me the most practical start, which I keep thinking a farm first will be the most practical way to get started as opposed to sourcing foods from elsewhere; I want to be mindful of carbon emission, which means limiting those outside sources. The ideal end goal would look something like a self-reliant (as possible) food truck and possibly small cafe to follow when more funding becomes available. I don't have experience with finances or management (which I'm sure I could find a trustworthy suitor) but am willing to put in the hard work and arduous hours required to make something good happen.

Any starting steps/resources/advice would be greatly appreciated, and I'm open to even any possible business partners that may be interested down the line!

Thank you all for your time, much love and light to you.
