I am thinking about starting a small organic farm that sells vegetables, trees, maple syrup, and livestock?
I am thinking about starting a small organic farm that sells vegetables, trees, maple syrup, and pastured livestock & poultry ready to slaughter. I am wondering if you can answer all of these questions:
1. How would I report my farm for taxes? I want to deduct as much as possible from the first year because that will be the most expensive year.
2. Do I need to obtain some sort of business licence for my farm?
3. Do I need to register my livestock and poultry anywhere?
4. Do I need a food licence for making maple syrup?
5. Would I need a licence for selling my products roadside in zip code 49055?
Start with your local County Extension Agent, the one for Van Buren coounty is at (269) 657-8213
Check with your accountant about forming an LLC so you can write off your expenses
Yes you will need to register your livestock, yes you will need a license for making maple syrup, and I am assuming you will need a license to sell food products.
