Hi all...
I've done a lot of research online and can't seem to find any answers. I have 5 acres in a semi rural community in California (Joshua Tree) with no animal restrictions and am seriously wanting to start a small egg farming business for the local community. I am wanting to do a legit "business" because of the obvious tax write offs, etc. I'm not looking to make much money as I know it is a hard business. I want it to be a side business as I love the chickens I have, want to expand and supply good, quality eggs from humanely raised chickens. But... I can't find anything on what is required to start such a business. Can anyone who is in California give me some info on the ins and outs and how difficult it is and what I need to do to get started? It would be much appreciated. Thanks so much.
Sylvia
