Prosper With Acreage For Sale North Carolina

By Carol Stevens


Looking for a small business opportunity? Don't give your money to a pyramid scheme or a get-rich-quick mailing list. Check out acreage for sale North Carolina and think outside the box. The American Dream is built on taking a small start-up to dizzy heights. Maybe you want to build your own home, start a vegetable garden and sell produce at a farmer's market, or just have a private spot for family picnics.

In Virginia a small family farm that shouldn't be a money-maker by most people's standards flourished under smart management. (The Amish support their families on small farms, using their savings to buy additional land for their sons. 'English' people - anyone outside the Amish community - seem unable to learn from them.) This is not unusual, actually. However, this small holding in Virginia would become almost a legend by the third generation.

Use what you have, the old man said. Make it better. Work smart; if you can't make money at something, don't do it. His son and his grandson continued to farm that way and made a good living. However, the grandson elevated it to an art. He cut out the middle man, found a market niche, and ran a direct sales business right off the farm. After a while, he wrote books, gave lectures around the state, and took in interns to learn his system. While other farmers went bust or borrowed to keep going, he made a profit while paying all his family members and employees $20 an hour or more.

One intern decided to test what he had learned. Since he had very little money, he looked for cheap land with a minimum of buildings on it. North Carolina was the perfect place. It was close to Virginia (in case he missed his mother's cooking), it had lots of rural land, and many small farmers there were going under or growing too old to farm.

Without the initial expense of expensive land, and without high property taxes to strain the budget year after year, people who make their home in North Carolina have more money to enjoy the life they will build. Whether your dream is a beachfront get-away, a mountain retreat, or a back-to-the -land survival homestead, you can find it in this southern state.

His movable pens protected the birds from predators and kept them healthy. He had almost no loss, no labor costs, low overhead, and steady, significant profits. Working smart, he was well-paid for his time. Best of all, he was his own boss and in charge of his future.

Research shows that grass-fed meat is superior to factory-farmed products, and yuppies love to buy local. The young farmer direct-marketed his poultry at farmer's markets and local restaurants. People appreciated the taste and texture of his fresh, right off the farm meat. He sold all he raised, paid off his initial farm in one year, and never looked back. He proved that the methods he had learned were sound and that a small business can make it big.

Maybe you don't want to start small and work hard. If you want the beach, North Carolina has beautiful ones. If you want gracious, historic homes, visit Wilmington. If you want a small town with charm and peace, this is the place. If you want mountains, go to the western part of the state. Visit North Carolina and see for yourself why this is the promised land.
