Acreage For Sale North Carolina Success Story

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.

Acreage in California hardly even exists in some areas. New York is sold by the square foot. However, North Carolina is really affordable. It is a very varied state, with both urban, small town, and rural land for sale.

The young man bought 13 acres or so for under $20,000. He moved into the pitiful shack that was the house and counted himself lucky to have a roof over his head. He planned a one-man, low-overhead operation.

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.

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.

Don't want to farm? Check out Wilmington for gracious, historic homes and cultural riches. North Carolina has world-renowned beaches. The western side has mountains of incredible beauty. Retire to a small town and find the peace, quiet, and community spirit you may have been missing. See what the cities have to offer. This state is truly a wonderful place to relocate no matter what age and stage of life you are.
