One of the more popular spots is Hawksbill Crag in Arkansas. You may be one of three to ten couples proposing there on any given day.
Are there any places special to either of you? Those might be good places to start.

I admire what you're trying to do, but $18/lb for chicken breasts is pretty high no matter what kind of farm you are. I have family who's pasture raised beef goes for less than half of that.

We raise the Cornish cross breed and we are located in Southwest Missouri (25 minutes outside of Rogers Arkansas)
We put our Cornish cross chickens on pasture after the last frost of the year and they move across the fresh spring grass daily getting sunlight, bugs, worms and Fresh Air!

Look up Dynamic EVC, they specialize in EV charging installs. Note: I do not have personal experience with them.

Well on whole chickens I'm at 6$ per lb we are currently raising a premium pork (Mangalitsa) which is a Hungarian swine breed with great marbling and is considered by many to be the Kobe of the swine since it is a slower growing breed it does cost more to produce but you will never have pork similar to it and our beef comes from a neighboring farm who raises grass fed beef and a whole beef will cost around 3,500+ butcher fees they are also going to be marketing sheep in the near future like I said we can discuss further options if you're interested!
Prices vary on everything deals can be made on bulk purchases for the chicken.
10whole birds - $300
20whole birds - $550
40 whole birds - $1,000
All cut up - will vary and be sold by the pound this year chicken breast for example will be 18$ a pound and legs and thighs 15$ a pound.
This seems high until you break down what I spend as stated before we are a non government subsidized farm so our cost is in our product instead of a government bailout program!
(Disclaimer all livestock, poultry, is purchased alive) we offer on farm butchering for the poultry for free!)

Also curious.
If I was closer to purchasing an EV I’d start by calling some random local electricians and asking if they can do the install. If they can’t then they probably know someone in the electrician community who can.

Eureka springs maybe, if you’re willing to make the drive. But if you’re already in Arkansas…places like sams throne, goats bluff, places like that are gorgeous

What kinds of animals are you raising? Pork? Beef? Sheep?
We need more of these kinds of projects around here, hopefully yall can find a way to keep your prices down below the $20+/lb insanity that goes on down at FMO.

Reply to comment by Tess_Mac in Missouri has roughly $150 million left to distribute in federal housing assistance by Tess_Mac
Oh sorry, I'm very poor at explaining. My significant other has 5 kids of their own and we have one together. Currently they are unable to work and trying to apply for disability, in the mean time we're living solely off of my income, 17 an hour, which I'm very grateful for, it's the most I've ever made in my life, but unfortunately with our medical bills and car payments we dont have enough to be able to rent our own place so we are currently staying at their parents place.

I completely understand but being chickens they are fed a non GMO and organic grain (not grass fed) and it's roughly 28$ a bag so doing the quick math of 500 birds is 1,572$+1/4lb feed per day per bird is 125lbs per day ×6weeks is roughly 5,250lbs ÷ 50 = 2940$ + average cost of water and a 10% loss (which is standard for chickens due to predators and a fast growing chicken raised outside) then my labor of raising the chicks which is roughly 2 hours a day then butchering day which I offer for free is around 6 hours per 100birds so hours of labor and care is 139.
1,572+2940+50 =$4562 total cost
500birds - 10% = 450birds
450birds × 25$ = $11,250
11,250 - 4,562 = 6,688
6,688 - 4562 = 2126
Profit is 2,126 labor hours 139 $per hour =15.29
I'm not getting rich by any means!
