    1st off, start out by trying to write/type using proper grammar.

    2nd, try taking some courses at your local college, especially business entrepreneur courses, they will give you a lot of information that most people don't have.

    3rd, Gov't contracts are hard to get to start with, but they usually go to the lowest bidder and you have a ton of paperwork to fill out just to bid. Check with the SBA/BBB/A Local Office to get more info on who/what/where/how/why/when.

    Good luck in your prospects.

    Advertise it as a Bed & Breakfast, they are still popular. Also contact groups like the Sierra Club, and other environmentally focused organizations in your area.
    Work out a business plan for at least 4-5 years and go for a business loan. Try researching for a list of grant programs set up for helping out new businesses.
    Focus your remaining funds on getting a few of the spaces ready and use funds from hiring them to finance the others.
    Contact schools in the area that have agricultural courses. See if you can use students for labor as they intern for class credit. Also marketing resources from your fields in specialty shops on consignment could produce some funding, but your profits would be higher if you set up shop on your own grounds. Mailorder is another option.

    I hope some of this helps out. Good luck.

    Yeah it's not a crisis, I release "unsafe" software all the time :)
    It's called time management. In the case of releasing software you've written to your company you've been compensated and if you're lucky you never see it again. This is not a tradgedy it's a bonus, let them do what they want with it! In the case of open source I think people with a less narrow view and more dedication have chosen that path for themselves, kudos to them.
