We've gotten the official letters. The final part of our capital will go into our bank account sometime between March 1st and March 4th. We may actually be able to get onto our land in time to do spring planting. We'll start seedlings in peat pots and trays this weekend, and have plenty of large pots to transplant into just in case.
We looked into Kiva and Kickstarter as possibilities, and found they wouldn't work for us. Kiva is for microfinance projects, for the seriously poor, and we're nowhere near that. Kickstarter is for projects with a definite end point, a product that is financed, not for ongoing concerns. If anybody has ideas about other group-finance sites that might be useful for us, please let us know.
We'll be adding a donations button to this blog, and the official Oakheart Farm and Oakheart Alpacas websites once they're up, once we've located a bank or credit union to move to and got the accounts set up. Right now we're with Bank of America (boo! hiss!) and really don't want to give them any more business.
Please see our Etsy site, Nwyvre WeaveWyrks, for maille and textile items whose sales help to pay for setting up our farm. We're quite happy to do custom work in addition to the inventory you see on the shop.
