Farm Idea

I'm HoH but I'm late to the party. My partner is born Deaf.

One day I would love a small farm with goats, chickens, fruit trees, and vegetables. I would make money from selling at farmers markets, online, and maybe to stores or kitchens. I want the public to be able to pay to pet the animals and maybe experience some chores. If it is big enough I would want to hire people. I also would like cabins for people to visit and experience farm life. If enough people live or visit there I would want a small theator, community meal and event hall, and some other things. I would like a program similar to what I saw in a monastery, where people could stay on the farm and work for a few months, or maybe longer if they wanted to stay.

Because my household language is ASL, I would want to hire Deaf people or people who are fluent and know Deaf culture. I would start with farm hands and then maybe administration or supervisors if it was big enough.

I am still dreaming about this and can't start yet. In about 5 years I should have the money to start something small.

While I dream, do you have any ideas to make the farm an amazing place to work and enjoy? Do you think a lot of people would like it? Does it seem like a business that would be successful?

The reason is to create a happy and healthy place to live and work both for people and animals.
