How to Start a Farm Business that Makes $120K/Month (Pt. 1)
On this episode, you’ll discover how to start a farm that makes $120k/month. In fact, you’ll see how regular, everyday people have decided to start farming and create an off-the-charts lucrative business.
Grace Harbor Farms is a perfect example. Starting with two goats and a lot of determination, Tim and Grace Lukens, along with their son David, have turned their dream into a rewarding farm business.
With goat milk skin care products in over 100 stores (including Whole Foods), anyone interested in starting a farm business can learn from this motivational family, who are delighted to share some very important expert tips with you right now!
But, starting a farm seems as if it might require a huge investment, right? Wrong! Many fledgling entrepreneurs have learned how to start a farm with no money - and no experience.
Simply by following in the footsteps of other farmers like the Lukens family, you can be well on your way to being your own boss, experiencing how it feels to be in charge of a multi-million dollar company, and providing consumers with all-natural products and solutions that they’ll be proud to purchase time and time again.

My dream is to invest heavily into farming someday. Is there any chance I could work with you guys to gain more experience please
@@yakubualhassan7960 write me please if they answer to you) I also want to make a huge farm)
Hi, my wish is to get your email or plz kindly email me on gumedeqiniso3@gmail.con

I grow stuff mostly because its what I have available to use. My family had farm land for generations. It's fun.
People nowaways dream of sports cars, mansions in LA, clothes, etc. But owning a farm intrigues me so much. A beautiful farm like the green gables in the prairies.
People nowdays are not only interested in farming but disturb you and complain if you want to farm
Yeah i hear u...and they're a lost bunch too chasing after all those materialistc things
Same here bro I want a nice farm/ranch with cattle and horses
I’m all about the cars but if want supercars and a huge car collection I need to work my ass off then buy it
I know right ,no way to compare a ranch with a city , in a city you can't farm enough to eat all year for self sustainability
We are in our first year. And the similarities we have are a confidence boost. Financially struggling and looked for a way to help my husband. He said don’t work, homeschool and raise our kids. But I can’t stand seeing him work so hard and be robbed by inflation. So I grew a garden and canned a few things people loved it. And it just blew up. I’ve also started making soaps, about to add bath bombs and lotions within the next year. One product at a time!
Id love an organic bath bomb recipe if you'd share! I'm focused only on Caribbean market so I'd not effect your product movement at all I'd even credit you or your company on packaging.
he's lucky to have you
Well done to you... I'm same started raising layers chicken and now we got our first egg... I'm a stay at home mama and my husband works 10 hours everyday... Hoping that the chickens do good and we can grow 🥰😍
One of my big dream. I bought 10 acres land first I go with the fruit trees, coffee, cacao for 2 year to fill this in or so. I will slowly start up my goats and cows
Man he’s lucky to have you. As a 23 year old guy now a days it feels like woman only date to see what they can gain from you but your looking how to help your husband in every way you can! 🫡
Farmers are the cornerstone of civilization.
One of the OG businesses.

Hello beautiful
My family was always involved in ranching so I am the first not to Own a ranch Earlier. I just started my own ranch, I look forward to expanding the ranch. I just called my C-r-y-p-t-o Investment Trader in charge of my C-r-y-p-t-o Portfolio to Liquidate $ 150,000 of my Profits. By January the Project will be in Completion. I'm so Excited .. I'm not doing it just for Profits, I just wanna do the Family thing.
@@donaldt6462 That's nice,I plan on retiring in my country home. We've got a very big ranch there, It's more like Family Tradition. I'm already tired of the Urban buzz. Time to do the Old Family thing.
It's amazing the way you do it, we love your videos and thank you for that. So keep going that way,we love you
I always had a passion for farming since I was a child growing up. What really caught my attention is that this Skincare products started off with two goats. 🙌 Thanks for sharing this video really good to watch during these times. Hope y’all have a Happy New Year’s with it comes
Glad you liked the video! And thank you, have a great new year!
Very helpful content! Thank you for putting such awesome media out in the world. We need more of this❤
Wow wow wow they were such incredible people to interview and you guys have done a great job editing the video and bringing the story forward! Keep them coming and stay tune for episode two!
Editor did an amazing job, so did you!
Farming is a lot of hard work and if you make a little money your doing really good if you breaking even your doing OK if you loosing money your the norm. If people think they just going to get into farming and make a lot of money I hope your rich cause you will need money to keep farming
Did you watch the video? This isn't about farming, it's about marketing.
@@HomerEscobar1 so then label it marketing and not a 120 k a month farming.
Click bait is the norm on KZhead. Surprised the thumbnaid didn't have huge tata on it.
Hit the nail on the you need a full time paying job To keep farming It's a expensive hobby
Clearly you can make a lot of money if you know how to sell your products. You cant make money doing any small business of you dont know how to sell your product
Super informative and encouraging. thanks for sharing!
Love love love this channel. I’m a country boy from deep in South Carolina and have been living in California for the past 6 years since the military. THIS right here is the goal and what I’m trying to get back to. Love the content
We're thrilled to know that our videos can inspire and empower. We hope you apply the lessons and achieve your dreams. Cheers to your success! 👊
This was great! Thanks for helping us take a look at this. Ill check out part 2
This video is really inspiring. Great job!
Glad you think so!
I am so fascinated watching these farms/ homesteads small or humongous , I come from a family with farming background , am a nurse and been living in the U.K. for about 50 years , come from the Far East originally but now British Citizen. I actually invested on a few hectares of farmland for my family.
Be sure to check out all our other farm videos. It's always fascinating to see how different farms work.
Hello beautiful how are you 😍
Aww! This is amazing! Farming is really good. Can't wait getting on ground.
This is one of my most favorite videos, I feel like I connect most with this one!
Glad you liked ;)
@@UpFlip it's obvious you paid for comments. Get a better job, animal abuser.
Man, this is the dream, you are your wife as real business partners living peace
Wow... this was cool to watch. Keep telling their story. I know nothing about farming so definitely interesting video
Thank you! There's more coming in Part 2!

Amazing opportunities we have in our hands in this time! Thank for sharing this one with us!
Our pleasure!
This was super interesting, thanks for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Do you have a farm Evan?
More of a "we did" than a "how to", but its a great story.
They were super vague.
i mean from what i watched thats kinda how they did it. they just did it. no plan at all. and most business plans end up failing anyways so might as well just get to work and try
I love these guys, I always buy their products !
They're definitely one of the biggest and best brands in Whatcom county when it comes to dairy and skin care products!
Such a good video,informational and fun!
Those goats can put a smile on anybodies face, there is just something magical about them ;)
Hello
Stunning and motivational
Talk about when they just go for it ..need no one to pushem..they just do it..and ya figure it out as you go...BRAVO!
Really awesome video! Loved the baby goats!
Glad to hear!
Great job! Loved it!
Thanks so much Michael!
Thank you so much! It was important information!
Glad it was helpful!
Dairy farms are dropping like flies because that stuff is unhealthy for human consumption and involves animal cruelty which people are not cool with anymore. Farm something else
That guy "we dont make the bar soap because its dangerous". Me: Making bar soap in my kitchen....🤦😂 Bar soap is not scary people and its easy to make
I was like "really? i've seen lots of people doing it on youtube" LOL
I really enjoy your videos , really great content and done with great quality. I searched all of KZhead and I can confirm you guys r the only ones doing it like this extremely unique and each video sparks new inspiration. Keep them comin.
We're more than happy to hear it. We'll keep them coming!

Thanks for such video...Am from Africa and learn something cool from your channel,I wish one day I can have something like this in my yard /territory
Glad we could help! Best of luck to you.
Yah willing, one day. My best hopes are to you.
Thanks for such encouragement ❤️
You are very much welcome Mileydis. We're so glad that you felt encourage after watching this. 😀 Are you currently in the farming industry or thinking about going into farming?
The moment I saw the menorah 🕎 I knew this will be a success story!!
I wish to be a part of the next generation of farmers and hoping my little ones pick it up as well to help the farm crisis in America.
This is so wonderful of you Savage Crawlers. 😀 We think you'll be great at this and passing it down to the little ones helps create generation wealth. Job well done! What types of livestock would you want your farm to have?
Very Inspiring! I have a small farm in Panama and just focused on permaculture practices growing my food but what an awesome idea to add goats and other animals.
Sounds great! Keep us posted on how it goes once you add them.
How to make $120k on a farm in a month: start with $130k.
That’s a really good return on your investment, put in 130k, make 120k every month. That’s really good. You can start small like they said though and build up.
@@Elijah-Bravo I think he meant if you start with 130k, you'll end with 120k, a loss of 10k. Similar to the saying: if you want to make a small fortune in Las Vegas, start with bringing a large fortune.
@@Elijah-Bravo he was talking about losing money. There’s a saying in farming, the only way to make a million dollars is to start with two million.
@@evan5262 yup
$130k won’t get you a farm where I’m from. Part of the deal is to live out in the boonies to get a cheap farm.
Wow, what a story. I would love to get upclose. I want to do this in Zambia.
Who knew, wow amazing, happiness and fulfillment can be achieved with a billygoat!

I always wanted to have a little farm with goats, chickens and maybe one cow and a little garden .. I would love to make my own goat beauty products. I am not sure about goat soap because they get are all too drying in the bar form , but lotions are awesome ! I'll
Go for it!
Such a sweet and wholesome couple.
They are a great couple Jackson. Thank you for watching.😀😀Would you like to see more videos on this industry?
This is cool and all and I want a farm but I am not even worried about the income side. If income happens great but my focus at first will be clean healthy animals and learning how to manage the animals properly. I believe if you can manage your farm and keep it clean and healthy everything else will fall into place.
Love our family farmers.
You can tell Mrs.Grace is a very smart lady.
Definitely!
i noticed that too
Awww the goats are so adorable 😍😍😍
This is my goal! I wanna do it in Georgia, and maybe Virginia idk but I've always wanted a farm with adorable live stock
Yes! If you do this, please let us know how you are and what inspired you.
This is not a small farm by any means. This is very large farm. Small farm is mine where I have 2 cows and 2 pigs lol
You have cows? Wow, that is a big farm :)
Not even that, they're farming everything out and they're not a farm at all anymore, just a business. They use to be a farm.
May I ask , how much does a mature and a baby cow cost ?
Wow your a huge farm, you have cows. 😊 We are in the makings of our farm. Like we have no animals except our dogs. We are building pens and getting the land all ready. We will be getting 1 to 2 goats in March. I can’t wait, I’m so excited it feels like Christmas. The goats where we are buying from are pregnant and due March. I’m hoping the Nigerian Dwarf has a female.
😂 well, i only have 10 goat and a bunch of chicken
Might think of starting up a farm once I'm financially secure enough to take the risk
Man, the difference in how far "having no money" can take you from then and now is heartbreaking. I just want to be free.
I am happy for your, u inspired me to start a farm of my own
I request for your guidance in my journey to start farming. Please

When I was a little kid I always wanted to be a farmer but my family had a lot of money they had millions of dollars and they weren’t into things that get dirty but I was so when I grew up I got a job and worked and then I bought a farm but I’m still no a millionaire but I do what I want to do
Great video. Love their story.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I have been killing it in the technology markets, creating massive value and riding the bubble but my ultimate goal is to one day take my lady and my babies and move into the farming and ranching business. It's the ultimate freedom of working until your hands hurt while teaching your youngsters what it's like to be a pillar to a community. It's just perfect.
Nice
Thanks for your indepth view of opportunities.
One day i will have this kind of lifestyle I will move to USA with my family Start a ranch Americans are blessed
Such a great video!
Thank you!!
I am really trying to start a small farm, and this was so encouraging. I have equipment and land, just need the motivation. I want to do Goats and Bees..
good luck in your venture
Animals are not commodities
Water is life
my issue is the opposite of yours got the motivation but no land and no equipment id like to farm the old fashion way using horses gonna go with chickens,worms and hemp and pigs so no food good or bad goes to waste i guess worms kinda do same thing but pigs are more faster lol
Farming sentient beings for palate pleasure is wrong
Awesome, gives a different angle
Great video! Paul Akers is everywhere now. :)
Glad you liked it! Hes' definitely expanding his reach!
This feels more of describing a success story and marketing them rather than 'how to start'
Hi
Same. I hardly doubt that it took no money to start with two goats.
Thank you for sharing
Our goal next year is a farm with a homestead on it here in south fl, currently researching
We wish you all the success! You got this!
Fantastic work 👌
Thank you! Cheers!
Those goats have the cutest little faces. Imagine seeing those sweet little faces every day?
Must be heaven 🙏
Great video! Thanks for sharing!! PS: I want baby goats too!!!!!!!

This is my favourite KZhead channel by far for obvious reasons. Endless inspiration and learning. Someday I'll be featured on it. Potential employees and customers of mine are encouraged to like, subscribe and share. Ha! #SpeakitintoExistence
Where is your business Isaac? What type of business is it?
Keep feeding the world!!!
Their goats look happy.
So many negative comments about how hard it is, of course running a business is hard but so is working a job. Rather work hard for myself
We agree The Stud. Running a business can be hard but it's definitely worth it in the end. What type of industry are you in?
@UpFlip mobile auto detail & Tint business, I have a few videos on my channel
i love farming, i wish i could work in some sheep or goat farm
Start your own farm.
@@UpFlip it needs a lot of money , I wish I could
nice video! ease to watch
We're glad you think so!
How much land do you need to start of with.
I love your channel
Great Content
Thanks for making the video.
You're welcome! Glad you enjoyed it.
Growing up I wanted to become rich doing a boring job. Then I discovered farming not to get rich but to enjoy every minute of it
Wonderful to hear Declan. Farming is great and having the ability to be all around nature is an added bonus. 😀What's your favorite part about working in the farming industry?
Beautiful success stories
Buying a farm property this week..I will share when able.. land includes pasture and will raise goats/chickens and cows.
That’s awesome, hope everything goes well!
i Love this video what a testimony
Pretty misleading , yeah if u have everything in place and all the resources. I grew up on a farm, it's hard work 24/7 year round. Horses, goats and chickens. All have to have round the clock care not to mention proper food and water. Raising cows pigs and chickens is a lot of work. Planting veggies and upkeep on the gardens is a lot of work. So this video shows a farm that took years to get everything in place to be profitable. These people worked their asses off to get to this kind of income.
Farming takes years .Do it in sustainable way and you will make it.
This is important to stress.
Yep. No pain no gain.
Waaaaaah
Still better than an easy job working for someone elses dreams (Boss).
the goats look so cute! :-) my ancsetors were farmers back in India. sometimes i feel us being vegetarians for over 1000s of years should start farming again here in AU ! thankyou very much for inspiring me
With todays possible wars and famines alongside with the economic crisis farming is more and more important even to sustain your life in town, idk why everyone dreams of making so much money but a humble little farm like they have but smaller scale is more than enough
How much does it cost to build a miny goat dairy that houses an area for about 12 to 15 milking goats
Thanks for sharing this vide
Great video
It seems everyone is doing this in today's world. We have a small farm and milk our goats. We make lots of mozzarella cheese, soap and just milk. Last year we only milked 1 half dairy goat and currently we have 3 pure bred and 2 half pure pregnant. We havnt been able to make it to farmer markets yet, again it seems everyone in our area is doing it. We are also in the process of assembling a 90x32ft high tunnel with hopes of growing essential oil products. Would love help making a documentary from the beginning... everyday American with a 9-5 job, starting a farm from scratch. I learned to cut hay this year and have a goal of being self sufficient from the beginning. Great video you made here but for 14min they just vaguely skim what they do. Thank you
Helo.. I just want to start the same thing but I don't have a crue, would you be kind enough to share with me all the necessity so I can make my dream reality,here is my email address omaryabdul02@gmail.com Thanks in advance for your hospitality.
Look into regenerative agriculture practices and increase your profits by reducing your inputs.
They were vague seriously!!! Wanted to learn more ....
This video is epic!
Glad you liked it!
We are seniors now. Do you think we can still do farming? I want to start improving our farm.. But we only have 2.5 acres left. We sold 10 acres because we are older people and thought we didn't need it.. But food in the groceries is getting expensive and we are far now from the city as we stay more often now in the farm. Thanks for your video. 🌹
Are you both mobile and still somewhat strong? Low maintenance hair sheep, dexter cattle, chickens, etc all sound viable. I’d recommend smaller animals like chickens and sheep. Hair sheep will save you the labor of shearing, there’s no need. I have low maintenance pond information if you guys eat bluegill or catfish. I can send a lot more info if you drop an email I can send to.
I live in nearby Seattle. I want to visit, I'll see if they offer classes
Open freezer lid -> note says "do not close lid" -> closes lid again 🤣🤣
I've wanted to buy/build my own farm for over a decade now. Im about a year and a half away from making that a reality.
You got this! Let us know how it goes, will you? 💪🏼
What’s your plan? I’ve just recently become interested as well
@@dallas_davidson I plan on starting small, just chickens and goats to start. It really depends on how much land I can buy in my state (which is incredibly expensive) next year. The end goal is to sell my products to local farmers markets and restaurants in my area (which are also expensive). I want a couple of glass greenhouses because I'm determined to keep my property free of plastics and chemicals. That's my starting plan, it may change with time.
