SC Wisconsin | Farmboy: I'll keep that in mind, but like I said this is down the road a ways. You never know when an opportunity might pop up though and it may be sooner
Kipps: I think I may have a particular advantage in this department. I have taken some sales classes and I already am working on expanding my freezer beef sales so I am gaining experience in the sales department. If I were to start real small scale I could even say give a package of yogurt, cheese, milk whatever I decided to make to those customers and use word of mouth that way, these people are already the type of customers I need that want locally produced food. As far as larger communities, I have a couple rather large towns / cities fairly close that have plenty of people. My parents sell milk and cheese in the cooler at their butcher shop and get it from a small cheese plant an hour away. They also have tons of contacts as far as farmers markets and people involved with "locally produced food". I haven't looked into the economics of something like this, but I feel like the things I mentioned above give me just as good of a chance as a guy could ask for as far as luck. | |

Bottling or processing your own milk?
