Hi All, My name is Adrian and I am from Melbourne. My wife and 3 kids are looking at a tree change and wanting to start looking at moving to the bush and starting a sustainable farm for us with a view to turning some profits. We are both realists and understand we cant just switch this on and away we go. We are reading up on forums, blogs and guides for the best way to approach and plan this. I would love for you guys to provide any internet based information to help us prepare a plan and an approach to how we are going to successfully transfer...what I am really interested in is: - Start Up training courses or guides - People's experiences on property selection - Choosing your niche markets - Choosing the crops and livestock based on location - Financing (I think though we will be mortgage free) - Leasing land for livestock grazing Our approach will be to continue our current roles at work (but mostly remote on the farm) with a view to decreasing this as we build our farm up... I would like to make sure that we put in place the plans for us to be successful. We are not looking at starting out big and biting off more than we can chew but maybe looking at a great veggie patch, chickens, goats etc and build as we become more experienced and can expand our Poiret. Any help, advice, experience etc would be very much valued and I thank you for reading my post :) Adrian
