  We recently purchased a golf course in a riverside wilderness setting. We are wanting to start up an organic farm operation on 5 acres of the property. We will also be setting up 10 sleeping/camping spots to attract, campers, and service the strong hunting and fishing tourism activity in the area. There will also be a small nursery business.
