On the farm, lessons learned TROY — Some lessons are for the classroom; others are best learned in less conventional ways. At the Produce Project, a year-round organic urban farm on Eighth Street just south of Hoosick Street, Troy High School students till the earth and tend crops. They take their bounty to market and learn to sensibly plan future harvests — what, exactly, might they grow that also makes the most business sense? Through all this, students learn the best methods for planting carrots, cabbage and kale. They also learn the value of healthy eating, business skills and how to behave appropriately in a work environment. "It's about much more than gardening," said Amy Klein, executive director of Capital District Community Gardens, which founded the program in 2009. At any given time, the Produce Project has on staff about a dozen Troy High School students. Students also prep their harvest for the Delmar greenmarket, and some of them work the market as well. "They walk away with great skills," said Klein.

Specialty Foods Enterprise Budget | Center for Integrated Agricultural Systems Posted May 2005 Customer demand for high-quality, unique specialty food products is growing rapidly. Many farmers are interested in processing specialty foods from the fruit, vegetables, meat, dairy products and grains they are already producing. CIAS has developed a spreadsheet to help farmers make financial and management decisions about new or existing specialty food enterprises. This budget was developed using Microsoft Excel 2000. “Suggestions for Use” are also linked here as a PDF file. The budget form might seem long and complex, at first glance. You will need to save a copy of the enterprise budget on your own computer in order to add your own figures. Specialty Foods Budget (Microsoft Excel 2000 file) Suggestions for Use (PDF file)

At first you need hydroponics as a hobby. Hobby hydroponics is the first step toward success. The following is based on information taken from H L Saffell's book: "HYDRO 1 - Hydroponic News".

Now they operate about 25,000 square feet of greenhouse space, and their annual sales exceed $200,000. What is it that made the one company fail, while the other thrives? Winston Churchill once said, "It is not enough to do your best, sometimes it is necessary to do what is required."

Arkansas family runs booming hydroponics farm - Gate House BATESVILLE, Ark. (AP) — Five years ago David Hughes never dreamed he'd one day be operating a hydroponic farm, but he knew he'd have to do something. His family was growing, the economy was in a downturn, and it was time to make a change. Today, David and his wife, Ami, are operating Micmak Farms, growing vegetables that never touch dirt. It's a year-round operation, rather than seasonal, and it was David and Ami's answer to their toils. "We were looking for another career and our family was maturing," Hughes said, "so we were needing more income. ... One of those jobs was farming. At the end of the ride, they entered through a greenhouse and saw the future of farming, with hydroponics. Back at home, he found the company and ordered his own. He also previously managed a transloading facility in West Memphis and worked for Mid-South Bulk, an offshoot of Silica Transport in Guion. Ami attended Batesville schools up through 10th grade, then was home-schooled.
