Because I know how well gardening threads do on these boards.

I know a couple of our members live pretty close to me, so I wanted to throw this out there. I'm currently working on a getting a small farm of my own established here in KY after having a fun test run in S FL. I hope to have a site somewhere convenient to the "Golden Traingle" of Lexington, Lousville, and Cincinnatti. The farm will not be organic, but I will take steps to bring it in line with "sustainable" procedures and a much smaller scale, much more personal approach. I hope to have this up and running by the spring of 2013 (so I can make sure the world doesn't end in 2012 before I put the money down). It will begin as a 5 acre mixed vegetable operation, in ground production. Every profitable season I will add to or modify the site until it is a battery of greenhouses and freshwater seafood production facilities. We'll be working with the CSA model to begin with, and the first milestone will be the construction of a greenhouse (schematics linked) that allows for integrated hydroponics/aquaculture. Eventually I hope to make the shareholders a little bit of coin in addition to food at some point in the not-to-distant future. I have some questions of interested forum goers.

If this were being offered in a location near you would you buy in?

What would an acceptable price be?

How would you define a "share" how much food should there be?

Would you prefer more interaction with your farmer or less?

Lastly, have you ever had a decent tomato in your life?
