Well - it has finally come to fruition! DW has started a micro business supplying organic vegetables in food boxes to locals and residents in our nearby town.
She got together with a neighbor friend and formed a growing partnership in "Living Food" organic vegetable supply. They have pooled their collective "excess" stocks of greens that we produce on our local farms and found an outlet in supplying house holds with yummy organic veggies and home produce.
They outreached to the local garden clubs and found themselves 20 customers whom each receive a $18.75 box of goodies every Thursday.

Well - I am just happy for them as they have found an energy outlet and are making around $1500 a month - which can only get bigger if they wish to grow bigger.
As of now they have a waiting list around 6 families to get onto the supply chain...
The main drive now is to grow sufficient stock of a good seasonal variety. So it is seedling establishment, grow, grow, grow - weed, water and grow!
I can see the next hurdle is to expand the current growing area's to accommodate additional options for extra volume. Already we have now got an outlet to all our excess stock, like the mountain of avocado's about to ripen! I will just have to guard my own fav's not to lose it to the supply chain and end up going short in the kitchen - Lol.
It is also nice to see DW have purpose and be busy as hell all week!
AND - I get to eat really cool variety of food regularly - seasonal off course!
