<p>When we decided to make a business out of aquaponics we had a very specific vision of the direction our farm was going to go, which is reflected in our business plan. During the past year since I wrote the plan our farm has evolved and our overall farm focus has changed. I have failed to update the business plan accordingly. I am in the process of doing so and will post as soon as finished. Writing this is actually helping with my business plan update.</p>

<p>When we decided to make a business out of aquaponics we had a very specific vision of the direction our farm was going to go, which is reflected in our business plan. During the past year since I wrote the plan our farm has evolved and our overall farm focus has changed. I have failed to update the business plan accordingly. I am in the process of doing so and will post as soon as finished. Writing this is actually helping with my business plan update.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Our farm has evolved out of demand of our customers and will likely continue to do so. This evolution has created many streams of income. We discovered that our square footage of growing space was not enough to bring in as much income as we had hoped. We decided to branch out and provide more services related to aquaponics. The following is a list of some of our farms sources of income.</p>
<p>1)<span style="text-decoration: underline;">Produce Sales:</span> We sell our produce to the neighborhood and anybody who is willing to come to the farm to buy it. This is the easiest approach for us to sell, we don't have to go anywhere or chance not selling all we have harvested. It has taken some time but we are now at the point where all our produce is sold direct from our farm. We no longer have to take our excess to the health food store to sell!</p>
<p>2)<span style="text-decoration: underline;">Classes:</span>We offer two classes and will soon offer a third.</p>
<p>*Introduction to aquaponics class is a two hour class designed to get people educated on aquaponics with a minimal investment. The class more involved than our free farm tour. It is meant to inspire and motivate people to get started. We teach this several times a month at a cost of $25 per person. With some Craig's List advertising and billboard fliers, it is fairly easy to get 10-20 or more people per class.</p>
<p>*Friendly Aquaponics Micro System Class is a five hour class geared for people who are serious about building a system. I teach this at least once a month for $200 each. Many people who took the intro class end up taking this class as well(I will give then a $25 credit).</p>
<p>*Barrel systems class will be offered in the near future.</p>
<p>3)<span style="text-decoration: underline;">Fish Sales:</span> We sell some fish for consumption but mostly for system start-ups. We have a breeding tank but need to add another due to the demand for fingerlings. With teaching classes and selling systems I have created a demand for fish which I am struggling to keep up with.</p>
<p>4)<span style="text-decoration: underline;">Aquaponic Kit Sales</span>: We build and sell three separate turnkey aquaponic systems and trough kits. We have many customers that have no skills or desire for the construction involved so I make it easy for them to get started. These kits are so popular that I cannot get barrels fast enough to keep up with demand.</p>
<p>5)<span style="text-decoration: underline;">Chicken Egg Sales, Composting Worm Sales</span>:We recycle ALL of our farm waste. Any green leafy waste is fed to our chickens which heavily supplements their feed. We also give the chickens all our table scraps. The sale of eggs easily covers their feed and we eat all the free eggs we want.</p>
<p>All roots stems and everything else is fed to composting worms. We sell our worms as well. Composting worms here generally sell for $20-$40 a pound.</p>
<p>6)<span style="text-decoration: underline;">Consulting, System Design, Construction</span>. We provide consulting and system design services for a flat hourly rate. We also provide full construction of systems for those without tools or skills.</p>
<p>7)<span style="text-decoration: underline;">Educational internship program:</span>We charge a tuition for our educational internship program. This provides us with some compensation for the time spent teaching all that we have learned. The program also gives us a lot of help on the farm which in turn frees up our time for other projects.</p>

<p>We have developed a system to sell our live lettuce and other produce at farmers markets or anywhere away from the farm. Basically we have created a miniature mobile AQ system that is compatible with our raft sizes. We have 2 troughs that are 2'x4'. We hook them in series and use a 30 gallon trash can for a reservoir.

We fill the can with system water but do not take fish anymore. We found that tilapia do not like to travel much! We put a small pond pump into the can to circulate water at the market and keep the produce fresh. The pump is powered by a car battery and a small inverter.</p>

The visual presentation attracts a LOT of interest and in turn sales. The beat part is that the produce that doesn't sell can be taken back to the farm and put back into the system for our next farm sale.</p>

We have gone in a slightly different direction than this plan calls out and we will have to spend some time updating it in the near future.<br/><br/> After cutting and pasting the plan into this discussion I have decided to attach it as a PDF.
