The farm business plan on one page.
Seven simple sections. Fill them in below, then print it or save it as a PDF. Rule number one: find the market first, then pick the crop.
Executive summary
In half a page: what the farm is, what you raise, who buys it, and what you need to make it work. Write this last.
The farm and what you raise
Land, acres, owned vs leased, and your product described specifically. Not "beef," but "grass-fed, grain-finished Angus, by the quarter and as cuts."
Your market and who buys
Name your buyers. For each: how many are there, what will they pay, and how will they find you. Put real conversations here.
Marketing and sales
How strangers become customers: where they discover you (Google, market, referral), how you capture them (website, email list, Google Business Profile), and how you close the sale.
Operations
Who does what, on what schedule, with what equipment. Processing and lead times, storage, packaging, delivery or pickup. Be honest about your labor.
Financials
Revenue minus real costs equals what you earn. Do it per product line, then list startup costs.
Milestones
Dates on the calendar: buy the animals, plant the crop, launch the website, sign the first restaurant, hit your first $1,000 month.
