5 Practical Tips for Starting a Small Vegetable Farm
Start by choosing a site with suitable water access, drainage, sunlight and security. Understand your soil and, where possible, use a soil test. Select crops based on local demand and growing conditions. Prepare a simple budget for seed, fertiliser or manure, labour, water and transport. Finally, keep records of costs, planting dates and sales so you can learn from each season.
Conditions differ by location and season, so seek locally appropriate agricultural advice before major production decisions.
