For those who weren't convinced, here is the final proof: We are considering getting a small-business loan and turning our not-fo-profit gentleman's farm (two donkeys and some chickens) into a working, for-profit alpaca farm.
Yup, you heard me. Alpacas. For those who don't know, this is an alpaca:
It's actually a solid business plan, based on proven data from the industry. It should return a hefty profit in the third year of operation, and it will be enough to pay back the loans and even replace one of our incomes (hint: not mine) within three or four years.
No, really. I know it doesn't sound logical, but the numbers are there. Anyway, this is very blog-worthy and I don't have the time to do it justice. For now, shake your heads in disbelief and question my sanity. When I have more information and more time, I'll blog about this properly.
