Ms. Monkey and I applied for a grant from USDA last year for a green house. Our Garden was big enough to be concerned a small farm. Her being a woman, and me being a veteran…there are opportunities for grants.

We just found out that our application was accepted and we will be getting a greenhouse! Fingers crossed, next year wevwill be back in gardening buisness…maybe even a full time job for me!

We figured we canned about 2 years worth of food, and donated a lot. I am hoping the greenhouse will help earn some income!

I was just literally thinking :thinking: how big is this green house going to be.
The way you and Ms. Monkey grow, prepare and store the food into sauces and all that kind of stuff I think your on to something great here :+1:

Not 100% sure yet, as there are options. In theory it could be up 6,000 square ft. However, i would have to build it. I could go smaller and have someone else build it. I should find out more in the following days.
