RE: 2018 Goals for Increasing Homesteading Income
Well thought out ideas! You might also consider down throw pillows from whatever birds you butcher. Also with market gardening consider varieties not available locally or foods that don't ship well so they aren't sold at grocery stores. We are hoping to get into a lot of this as well next year. Hope it goes well for the both of us!
That's a good idea. I hate wastage so using the feathers would be great. I need to look up the best ways to wash them as I wet pluck so would need to be able to bulk wash and dry before using in pillows.
Regarding the veggie varieties you're totally on point. Provide customers with something they can't get normally is the way to go.
Good luck to us both!
I also plan to try to sell the large feathers to crafters for dream catchers or jewelry
Great idea. I collect all my dropped budgie feathers with the thought of doing that as they're small and colourful.
Yes! Those would be great for that
I looked at setting up a little store online but I'm not sure which would suit best. Thanks for the inspiration to research again :D
I'm thinking of using etsy but they charge for every listing not every sale so that's a bit frustrating
Oh thats mega annoying, especially if you're stocking a store but aren't expecting many sales.
