This is Plan B for acquiring a specific Dutch potato for food service business. May need to grow my own. 

  • Barn
  • Farm equipment
  • Processing facilities
  • Irrigation equipment
  • Cold storage (cooler/freezer)

Equipment and infrastructure details

I would need machinery for tilling, mounding, planting and harvesting potatoes. 

  • Sale (Cash or Mortgage)
  • Lease (1 to 5 Years)
  • Lease w/Option to Buy
  • Lease w/Mentoring

Opportunity details

I may need to grow my own potatoes for a food service business idea. I would try to make it as small and simple as possible. Just need basic machinery. 

  • Vegetables

Goals details

I’m looking to grow 60,000+ lbs of a specific Dutch variety of potato (approximately 1 acre required). I hope to grow them using organic practices and harvesting once a year, maybe twice depending on growing conditions and storage availability.
