Buying a Fruit Farm

This 3 bedroom, 2 bath home has tile counter tops in kitchen and baths, free standing propane stove in living room, central heat and air, awnings on windows for hot summer days. There is a 400 square foot covered patio with skylight and country pavers. This property has many possible uses. Extensive open land area could be for raising animals, crops or perhaps grapes. The garden area has many trees such as Honey crisp apple trees, Apricots, Figs, Peach, Pear, Persimmon, Plum and Pomegranates. The garden has berry brushes like Blackberries, Blueberries and Raspberries along with fresh herbs like Sage, Thyme, Rosemary, Horseradish, Chives, Oregano, Mints, Marjoram, Fennel, Catnip, Parsley and Tarragon. In the raised flowerbeds there is Asparagus, Lavender and Strawberries. The garden area is fenced to keep the deer out and has a 10x10 tool shed. The well and 2500 gallon holding tank provides plenty of fresh water for all the plants around the property. Hobbyists will enjoy the two 10x20 buildings. One of the buildings has electricity, ceiling fan and lights. The two car garage has extra storage, electricity/lights with a 20 x 26 RV cover along side. This property has too much to list and needs to be seen. 24Hr recorded message gives details: 866-866-6662 x 1951

This episode of the "Alexander County Business Spotlight" features The Farmer's Daughter, a local family-owned farm and roadside market located at 2150 Friendship Church Road, Taylorsville, NC 28681. Owner Amy Douglas, along with her husband Jason, opened the market in May 2008. The family farm has been in operation since 1875, and their children are the eighth generation to grow up there. The market actually began after a time of selling the farm's excess vegetables on a truck. Now, the family sells approximately 50 fruits and vegetables at the market. The Farmer's Daughter is a North Carolina Farm Fresh Certified Roadside Farm Market. "We grow 90 percent of what we sell here, and everything is locally grown," Amy related. "We pick fresh daily, so it's always fresh. It's fresh produce from our family to yours." They also offer a Community Supported Agriculture Program, which helps connect the community to their farm. The program allows the public to commit to buying a weekly allotment of fruits and/or vegetables during the growing/harvest season. The market offers agritourism and educational opportunities, as well as special events including an arts/crafts festival in May and pumpkin rides in the fall. Families are also encouraged to self-pick on the farm. The Farmer's Daughter is open Monday through Friday, from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., and Saturday from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. (May through September). For more information, call (828) 312-8137 or visit www.thefarmersdaughternc.com.

So what is this chim­ney cake any­way? Ima­gine if you will, a metre-long strip of some of the finest hand-kneaded yeast dough, which is brushed with oil and sugar. Fol­low­ing the tra­di­tional Transylvanian re­cipe, it is then wrapped around a cyl­indrical roll in the shape of a chim­ney—hence the name—and then baked over an open char­coal fire. Dur­ing this spec­tac­u­lar pro­cess, the pastry is generously sprinkled with sugar, which then gets car­a­mel­ized by the heat, to make the ex­per­i­ence even more mouth-wa­ter­ing. After the cake be­comes just so crispy out­side that the in­side is still soft and doughy, we bathe it in one of the de­li­cious fla­vours of your choice: cin­na­mon, vanilla, chocol­ate, coconut or al­mond. Then we serve it im­me­di­ately, be­cause as you might've guessed, it's best served hot!

When it comes to managing a farm operation, you're called upon to master many aspects of your business, from motivating employees to understanding a balance sheet. Farm Credit East's GenerationNext program is a series of seminars designed to advance your management skills and business knowledge. GenerationNext is optimal for those people, ages 20 to 35, who will be the next generation operators of a family business. Each seminar includes group discussions, idea sharing and opportunities to network with farm business consultants and fellow young farmers. In this video, learn more about GenerationNext from Bill Martin, Farm Credit East business consultant.

It is important for farm businesses to have a generational transfer plan in place to ensure the senior generation will be comfortable in retirement and the younger generation is prepared for ownership and management of the business. Bringing a consultant into the planning process helps to separate the family relationships from the business relationships. At Farm Credit East, our consultants have worked with hundreds of farm families and are experienced with all types of farm operations and family situations. Our consultants work with you to make an honest assessment of what you will need in retirement with a safe margin, so you don't sell your retirement years short. Learn more from business consultant, Jon Jaffe, about the benefits of working with Farm Credit East on generational transfers.
