My little hydro hobby has paid off. ;D I got a contract from a restaurant chain to supply fresh veggies and herbs for the restaurants they have in our area.
Maybe if I can amp our production and figure out a way to transport produce really fast I can also supply their other branches.
I'm going to start transplanting seedlings next week, now we're still trying to finish up the whole veggie house.

This is how it looked like weeks ago, now we need more flat pipes.
I got all the pipe frames and polycarb roofing pretty cheap, there was an orchid farm in our area that's been renovating their place and I had bumped into the guy who owns the place a month ago and lucky me I was the first person who asked about buying his old stuff after he had put an ad out for it since late last year.
So hubby and some of our workers have been pretty busy putting it all together. We set it up on a piece of land that's no good for pasturing goats or soil based farming and such as the land in there was full of rocky patches. So we decided it wouldn't be a loss to cover the spot with concrete and put the hydro stuff in there.

;D Loads more excuses to spend the whole time gardening ;D
It's good news for our stable guys as well as I agreed to let their older kids help me out part time so now their kids have a job and can save up for stuff.
