How close are you to Youngstown?? If you can get the word out, in a large city, I'd think you could make a pretty good go selling freezer pigs and beef.
We are 60 miles from Toledo & Ft Wayne so it's prohibitive, but we do pretty good selling freezer pigs in this area. We are starting to get a name for ourselves so more people are calling us asking for halves. We have friends that raise steers for the freezer, and farm fresh eggs, they seem to be doing well.
This isn't sole income for either of us, but it's a pretty good supplement. I would think with a little shoe leather, you could get a customer base established. I don't know if you'll make enough to pay for more land, but if you are running debt free, I think you can do it.
We don't claim to be organic or pasture raised. We sell as humanely raised in a straw bedded barn without continous feeding antibiotics and no hormones. People are OK with that, but sometimes we have to explain what it means.
Email me if you want, I can give you more details without boring everyone else. freezerpig @ gmail.com
Good luck,
Tim

To the newcomer planning to restore the machine, this means you have everything you need for the moment (something to sit in the shop and just look at for awhile while you read the books). To the newcomer that wants to get out and use the machine for field work, you may have already hit a major roadblock. That is the dreaded "proprietary hitch". With the exception of the
