| Capital Needs: $90,000 |
| The first year budget includes capital expenses to pay for necessary farming equipment as well as badly needed infrastructure repairs improvements to the farm stand and other farm buildings. We also plan to establish a Learning Garden for educational programs on the farm. |
 |
Cultivating Tractor, such as a Farmall Super A. The farmers will use this for all mechanical weed control. |
 |
Tillage Tractor, such as a Kubota 5400. This tractor would handle all of the field preparations, bed making, mowing, disking, transplanting and moving things from here to there. |
 |
Seeder, such as a Junior Planet Seeder. This tool allows the farmers to plant three rows of one crop quickly and efficiently in perfectly parallel rows. This makes the weed control process significantly easier. |
 |
Flame Weeder: This is the tool that the farmers will use to prepare beds for seeding. It uses fire to kill weeds by the thousands just as they are germinating! |
 |
Learning Garden for educational programs |
 |
Farm Stand Roof is leaky and needs to be repaired to halt further deteriorate and withstand the weight of winter snowfall. |
 |
Farm Stand Interior to fix ceiling damage from the leaky roof as well as improvements for produce distribution. |
 |
Building Repairs, such as repairs to broken timbers inside the washing station attached to the farm stand. |
 |
Public Safety and Access Improvements, such as parking lot repairs, driveway relocation, and barriers between the farm stand and parking for pedestrian safety. |
