That is not a viable business model. High foot traffic and liability issues.
Would a person running a factory allow random people to enter and do part of the work for DIY inside their premises? Just because Ag happens under the open skies doesn’t mean that it’s a park with free entry to all. Working farms are professional spaces and are for profit.
- giantg2 6y agoLOL. Pick-your-own is a common model found at farms. Do some Google searches.
- jelliclesfarm 6y agoWith all due respect..I don’t know what your domain expertise is, but I am not going to ask you to ‘do some Google searches’ for you do your job. This is about automation and latest tech enhanced mechanization of small farms. Not how to sell produce.
- giantg2 6y agoActually the premise of this post is about writing a proposal to farm 100 acres of urban land. Automation could help in that endeavor and was listed as one of the aspects that could be explored. Often the best solution is the simplest. Pick-your-own is a common model used by small farms to reduce labor requirements for some types of produce such as apples, strawberries, etc. This approach would also require less capital investment than specialized automated machines. There's nothing wrong with googling aspects of your job - how else will you discover new things if you don't seek them out. In fact, most software devs research job related information via Google searches all the time.
- jelliclesfarm 6y agoOk. Thanks for your input.
