Fantastic advice for any business really, and life in general too. Start small. Try and keep debt low or no debt. Add as you grow and you'll grow as you add.

Same here, liked to know & wants to start small.
I am in Ca.,Bay area. Don't mind to move out from bay area.
Thank you in advance. Please, let me know. -
This video has nothing to do with starting a farm and contains completely irrelevant information. Who cares about yearly production costs when LAND is so much more ridiculously expensive? How about learning to establish credit? What loans or subsidies are available for small, first-time farmers? Which states have cheaper agricultural land and which have AG laws more conducive to small family farmers?
SO basically you need a huge pile of cash to pay for the land up front (if you have no credit). And even with decent credit banks probably won't loan to you anyways. -
Ya'll obviously don't remember the savings and loan crisis of the 80's.

Thank you so much! I need some tip on starting a farm. This is my dream career and this is something that I can do, and I can also work at home!

Also search YouTube for videos on these people ('Rebel Farmer' on Sepp Holtzer; 'Restoration Agricuture' by Mark Shepard; there are many videos on Joel Salatin; Holistic Management (though most of the video clips feature large-scale grazing operations on big acreges, Holistic Management principles apply to EVERYTHING); etc. Visit AcresUSA (dot) com & read the free articles on eco-agriculture. Follow your dreams!

Tp make a living & pay the taxes, farmers today must 'think outside the box'. Read: 'You Can Farm' by Joel Satatin; 'Restoration Agriculture' by Mark Shepard; 'Sepp Holtzer's Permaculture, A Guide' by Holtzer (read the Preface on Amazon); 'Holistic Management' by Allan Savory. Small & begining farmers groups, Organic farming groups, etc abound- but only you can decide what works for you on your piece of heaven, ur, I mean 'land'. :) These books will give you the basis to do just that.

What type of place are you looking for? Where in Md? What are your needs? Your goals? Once you have a checklist of features the property 'must have', and your 'wants' & 'would be nice', it will be easier to shop for a farm. Find an agent familiar w/small farms, esp if you want a small WORKING farm (not just acres of lawn). Farm savy agent in Md: lisamcwilliams (at) mris (dot) com Good luck!
