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 there is a small family farm that shouldn't be a gold mine in today's economy. Actually, the Amish succeed this way, too. They take a small farm, make it support the whole family, and launch the boys off to farms of their own. This isn't about the Amish, though. This is just a small farm owned by a smart man who taught his grandson lessons that would make the boy a millionaire one day.

Using the frugal but innovative methods of the original farmer, father, son, and grandson made a good living. The third farmer, however, saw potential in catering to growing suburban populations around his farm. He found a market niche and began to sell directly off the farm. After a while, he wrote a book, and then another, and then another.

He found 13 acres under $20,000 and began to raise chickens. Constructing inexpensive movable hutches, he fed them on grass - so no feed expense. He didn't need a barn, and wasn't picky about his own housing. He was working his way to future prosperity, incurring no debt and not planning on mortgaging his future for long. He was, in fact, living the early American Dream.

He began to raise chickens in movable pens, so he didn't need a barn. He fed them on grass (which they picked for themselves) so didn't need to buy feed. He processed them himself with some simple equipment and trucked them to the nearest metropolitan area.

Grass-fed chickens sold to restaurants and directly to consumers at farmer's markets was his game. These naturally and humanely raised birds were in hot demand. He sold all he had and expanded his business. He paid off his little farm within the year and kept right on going, proving that the methods he had learned were sound and that a small, start-up business could make it big.
