My Farm Business Model
My mission is to be the preferred source of nutrient-dense meat from heritage animals
raised in their natural settings.
My geographic market is from Athens to Atlanta, GA. There are several other farms, but none with a strong brand identity. Of course, most potential customers buy from “regular”
grocery stores, and need to be made aware of the value of pastured meats.

whole animals (goat, lamb) as well as organs. Both of these groups value and are unable to find these cuts elsewhere and will support our

Feed is a critical cost for pigs and chickens, & I have little control over that. Butchering costs are a factor for all products. Both of those are beyond my control. Critical costs and metrics
within my control include poultry and pig mortality rates & feed conversion ratios (waste). Monthly farm mortgage is a fixed cost, so net income must support that expense & utilities.
