Soo I’ve had the idea of starting a small restaurant on a permaculture farm for a while. Every single ingredient would be grown right on the farm and customers would be able to see and walk around the farm if they want(with supervision, I guess in a short tour?), im thinking it should be a vegan restaurant, it just makes more sense to me. All the food would be organic/pesticide free/herbicide free, This would be the healthiest restaurant in my whole country for sure.
The restaurant wouldn’t be on the middle of the farm but it would be right in the middle of a nice botanical garden. The garden would make the place so much more pretty and attractive, plus this way people can sit down benches placed around the garden and eat while. In my country theres not many 3rd place , I could advertise the place as a free botanical garden with a restaurant on it.
The farm would be right besides the garden but it would be fenced so people dont touch the plants too much or steal them. So yeah these are 3 ideas together, botanical garden/restaurant/farm. I feel like I can advertise the botanical garden and the vegan restaurant separately so its less confusin.
This would definitely be best to run with a group of people. Maybe you can have some volunteers or wwoofers as staff for the farming aspect of things. If you don’t currently have a farm that would be the first hurdle. And planning the landscape to grow as much food as possible. I also think it would be difficult to grow EVERYTHING on site as it would be difficult to grow grain, beans, etc. having multiple streams of income is the best thing to do with farms as sometimes crops fall or years are rough for growing so some ideas: (let folks take pictures in your garden, do tours, classes, weddings, etc)
