I'm glad that it's working out for you. It doesn't work out for people whose itemized deductions from last year were greater than the new cap this year unless they can rearrange their income and shift those deductions to an llc, for example..because even though they can't claim their full value...an llc still can, and..for these people, is taxed at a lower effective rate. This loss will not be offset by "business investment" that doesn't exist, and, as far as I know, across the board salary increases aren't being discussed.
It's a reality of the tax plan, it was an intentional swipe at the political opponents of the tax plan, and that affects me and businesses like mine by affecting our target demographics.

Community Supported Agriculture. It's a term for a farm that (generally) sells shares in the farm direct to the consumer rather than produce by the pound or to purchasing agents. There are a couple ways to do it..but..people sign up, pay up..and then every week they get a box of veggies and/or whatever else a farm produces. It's not a viable model in the majority of cases, yet, and largely because it depends on a premium market or an ideological commitment from consumers on the one hand...and a set of skills and methodological arrangements that are not common among traditional producers..on the other. They're local, seasonal, most at least sustainable, often certified organic. I'm not entirely sold on the arrangement myself, but, where it can be made to work, obviously, it works. The thing that's really driving it right now is alot of interest at the state level that amounts to financial and organizational assistance. University extensions love it, lol.
You should check and see if there's one in your area, they'd be looking for sign-ups right now.
