Strategic Planning

We can help you prepare long term business plans that can enable you achieve your family’s aspirations.  With this long term plan in place, the business can then develop towards its objectives.

Ensuring that the business is capable of achieving your family’s needs is the key to having a decent work / life balance.

Developing an organic business is likely to involve problems and opportunities that were not originally anticipated and our experience of business management can help you make the most out of each situation.

Conversion Planning

The conversion of a business to organic standards needs careful technical and financial planning.  We have over 12 years experience of producing successful conversion plans for farming businesses ranging from small part time holdings to large 2500 acre mixed farming estates.

The budgeting of conversion is critical to the cash flow of the business and we have specific software to help plan the financial aspects of conversion.

Whole Farm Management

We have 25 years experience of managing farm businesses, many of them being organic farms.  We can help if you are not able to commit the amount of time to your organic farming enterprise that you would like.

Technical Consulting

Compliance with the organic standards requires changes in all aspects of enterprise management.  We can keep you up to date with the standards as well as practices and techniques that are working for other producers.  We have up to date technical software to help with rotation planning and diets formulation.

Diversifications

A number of farming businesses have successfully added value or developed farm diversification enterprises to their business.  We have a successful track record in helping these businesses develop.  This may include capital grant application.
