Business on 50 acres of land. What business to open on your site. What crops to grow

Is it possible to create a business in the country, and will it be promising? If not, then there would be no point in writing this article. But since there is a text below, and quite large, the conclusion is logical: in the country, business is more than possible. In this example, consider the idea of \u200b\u200bgrowing crops with subsequent sale, which implies a possible income in $ 800,000 per year.

If there is a summer cottage, then certainly there is at least 10 acres of land that are needed for cultivation. Here the question almost immediately arises - what to grow? It is necessary to choose the most profitable culture that would bring more money, and which would require a little cost. It is difficult to define such. Someone does not do this at all and relies on the great Russian "what if", someone listens to the opinion of experts predicting an increase in sales in next year, for example, potatoes, and someone simply relies on intuition.

For example, if you plant 10 acres with potatoes, then with an average yield (200-300 kg from one acre), you can collect 2-3 tons of this product. Its average price per 1 kilogram is $ 0.5 (it's easier to count), respectively, from one harvest you can get $ 1000-1500. Will this be enough for you? Unfortunately no.

The next example is strawberries... Most people grow this product solely for personal use. From one hundred square meters you can get (on average) up to 150 kg, from 10 hundred parts - 1500 kg. The cost of strawberries is $ 3 per kilogram, respectively, from 1500 kg you can get $ 4500. Better, but still not enough!

Can you earn even more?

An income of $ 4,500 is guaranteed if you grow one-time fruiting strawberries, but there are berries that give 2 or 3 crops a year. Accordingly, you can earn 2-3 times more. At the same time, earnings are also possible on seedlings, which are not cheap. To do this, you will have to grow seedlings in plastic bags so that their root system is closed. This will allow them to be sold throughout the warm season along with berries: summer, autumn, spring. These seedlings take root always and everywhere, respectively, they are sold to the last, and there is practically no competition.

Calculating the potential profit is easy. 1 square meter allows you to grow 60 seedlings in packages. On one hundred square meters (paths for aisles are taken into account), you can grow 4-4.5 thousand bushes. The cost of one seedling is, say, $ 0.50. Then only from one hundred square meters you can get 2000-2250 dollars; from ten acres - ten times more. And that's much better, but still it's not $ 800,000..

And that's not all! Business in the country can be much more profitable

We considered only 2 cultures, but there are many more of them. Take black currant, for example. You don't even need to analyze the market in order to say for sure: the demand for it is very good, and black currant diverges to the last berry, no matter how much you grow. The yield directly depends on the variety, and on average ranges from 100 to 200 kilograms per hundred square meters. The cost of 1 kilogram is $ 3. The rest is easy to calculate. However, this is not the point. It is much more profitable and easier to grow black currant seedlings, and here's why:

  1. From one hundred square meters, you can get 4-5 thousand blackcurrant seedlings (you can find out from any guide on growing seedlings);
  2. From ten acres you can get 40-50 thousand seedlings (on average 45 thousand);
  3. The cost of one seedling is (!) 1-2 dollars (how you sell it);
  4. Profit from 10 acres as a result can be 45000-90000 thousand dollars.

You can only dream of such earnings. Moreover, you do not need to invest a lot of money in this business, and this is a distinctive advantage. In this case, there can only be one problem is implementation.

Sales methods

There are several ways to sell your grown seedlings:

  1. Wholesale. In this case, you need to drop the price, and significantly;
  2. Give it for sale, while losing only 10-15 percent of the possible profit;
  3. Grow currants in packages and sell them yourself. In this case, the implementation period is extended from early spring to late autumn. Best of all, these seedlings will be sold in the summer, during the ripening period of black currants.

Additionally, you can sell the currant berries themselves, which, if you do everything right, will be very large. The buyer will definitely not pass by these.

To grow seedlings, you will definitely need cuttings. You need to take them from the mother liquor - this is a currant bush, which is intended exclusively for obtaining cuttings. They need to be planted densely - about 10-15 per square meter. About 10 powerful shoots can be grown on one bush, which are cut into cuttings in the fall. From one shoot you can get 5 cuttings, from a bush - 50. These 50 cuttings will turn into seedlings in the future. You can get about 500-750 cuttings from one square meter. It is easy to calculate exactly how many mother plants you need to plant in order to get the right number of cuttings for growing seedlings. Most often (this is more convenient) the mother liquors are planted in 1-2-3 rows around the perimeter. On 1 square meter on average 12 bushes are placed, which implies getting 600 cuttings from 1 square meter.

The dacha business promises even more money, and it's true!

You can earn even more from grapes. The bottom line is that the cost grape seedlings are several times higher than the cost of currant seedlings(1.5-2 times), but from one hundred square meters of soil, the number of seedlings can be obtained exactly the same - 4-5 thousand. Accordingly, you can earn 1.5-2 times more (about 90-180 thousand dollars).

This income is already fantastic and almost unrealistic. Of course, it is possible to grow such an amount, but not to realize it. The reason for this is a lot of competition. At the moment, only the lazy does not sell grape seedlings, therefore, problems may arise with the sale of such a number of seedlings. However, such a business can be realized only in those regions where, thanks to the warming climate, people began to pay attention to the opportunity to grow grapes in their summer cottages. These are mainly the northern regions of Ukraine and practically the entire middle zone of Russia, including Moscow. Now in this strip it is warm enough that even late grape varieties can fully ripen, and this causes a great demand for seedlings.

To grow seedlings, you do not need to harvest special bushes for cuttings. About 100 cuttings can be harvested from only one adult grape, because all the same, about 90% of the vine is cut in the fall. This vine will successfully cuttings. In addition, grapes can also be sold if there are a lot of them.

Making money from the realm of fantasy - EVEN MORE!

Theoretically, a business in the country can bring even more money, but in practice this is almost impossible to do due to the large amount of work that will have to be done. You will definitely need helpers, but this option is worth considering.

It's about the culture of clematis... They can be grown from cuttings in plastic bags and closed root systems. They are implemented almost all year round except for winter. One square meter can grow 300 seedlings; on a hundred square meters - 20,000 (taking into account the space for the tracks); not 10 acres - 200,000. The price of one seedling is $ 4 (on average), respectively, the cost of 200,000 pieces will be 800,000 dollars... The amount is fantastic, but theoretically it is possible to make such a profit.

Cuttings of clematis are obtained from uterine bushes, which need to be planted thicker. 500 cuttings are obtained from one bush, so you can easily calculate how many bushes you need to plant in order to grow the required number of cuttings.

So, does a business at a summer cottage promise a profit?

As you can see, having only 10 acres of free land in the country, you can create profitable businessthat will provide you for life. Even if you have only 2 free acres, then by planting them completely with currant seedlings, you can get about 10-20 thousand dollars.

Of course, you can grow other crops that you think will make you much more money. To do this, you will have to arm yourself with appropriate reference books and market prices in order to be able to determine the possible income. However, here you will have to experiment.

A plot of 20 acres is an ideal springboard for opening own business... A summer cottage or a backyard plot of this size can be adapted for growing vegetables and seedlings for sale, leasing it, and raising animals on it. There are many other productive ideas for using land as a valuable resource. Let's consider the most effective and profitable ones.

Growing greens, vegetables, fruits for sale

The most common way to use a land plot for starting a business is gardening and vegetable growing.

It can be organized in two ways:

  • First of all , growing in the open field of seasonal vegetables and fruits.
  • Secondly , construction of a greenhouse for the cultivation of heat-loving fruit and vegetable crops, as well as for satisfaction and vegetables.

The first option is distinguished by minimal investment: the entrepreneur will need to purchase only seedlings and seedlings, as well as take care of timely watering, dressing and fertilization. The second option requires the construction of a greenhouse structure, the organization of a heating and irrigation system in it.

It is important to understand that the sale of seasonal vegetables and fruits will not provide the entrepreneur with such a serious profit, compared with the sale of exotic crops, as well as berries and herbs in the cold season.

At the first stage of organizing a business, you can manage on your own, but with a gradual expansion of the business, it will be necessary to attract hired workers seasonally - during the period of planting seedlings, harvesting, etc.

Implementation options finished products there are also several:

  1. Wholesale supply to large outlets (supermarkets).
  2. Self retail in the market or in a stationary vegetable tent.
  3. Selling products directly from the farm , which requires advertising in local print media.

Business benefits

  1. Consistently high demand.
  2. Significant value of agricultural products in the winter season.
  3. Relatively small investment.

Business disadvantages

  1. A high probability of a force majeure situation (death of seedlings, crop failure, pests).
  2. The finished product does not have a long shelf life.

Breeding and raising pets

If the available land plot is by no means distinguished by fertile soil, then it makes sense to adapt it for breeding domestic animals.

In this case, you can make a choice in favor of one of two options:

  • First of all , if there are places for grazing, you can make a choice in favor of cows or sheep.
  • Secondly , in the absence of such, you can start breeding chickens, rabbits or ducks.

Taking care of pets is a daily systematic work. That is why, already at the first stage of organizing a business, you should take care of hiring 2-3 employees.

What are the nuances of this business:

  1. On the site, it is imperative to equip pens for animals, protected from rain, wind and cold.
  2. It is imperative that you follow a vaccination schedule for your animals to keep your business from unforeseen deaths.
  3. Care should be taken in advance to establish channels for the supply of feed and vitamins for animals.

The most profitable and popular options for the livestock business at their summer cottage are the breeding of geese, rabbits and ducks:

  • Breeding ducks ... First, you need to purchase about 100 ducklings (the price of one varies from 80 to 120 rubles) and purchase food. It should be noted that ducks are very unpretentious in food and can even eat boiled potatoes. In 3-5 months the animal reaches a mature state and is ready for sale (the cost of a mature bird is 400-800 rubles).
  • ... Small rabbits are sold on the market at a price of 70 rubles apiece. Large enclosures and bathing areas are not required for their maintenance. Rabbit food is represented by grasses and grains (corn, wheat, barley). In 4-5 months, the animal reaches adulthood and can be sold for 700-1000 rubles. Moreover, rabbits give a very substantial offspring.
  • ... Breeding geese is similar to breeding ducks. However, these birds do not require serious structures (they are not afraid of cold and rain). They also consume less feed. Goslings can be purchased for 90-110 rubles apiece, and adult birds at the age of 4-5 months can be sold for 1000-1500 rubles.

It is most convenient to sell products in the order of wholesale deliveries.

Business benefits

  1. High demand for products from supermarkets, restaurants, meat industries.
  2. Medium-sized investments.
  3. Simple organization algorithm.
  4. Acceptable in any climatic zone.

Business disadvantages

  1. High probability of a force majeure situation (illness and death of livestock).
  2. High level of competition in the industry.
  3. Requires significant labor costs.

Growing seedlings, seedlings for sale

In the springtime, seedlings and seedlings are in high demand on the market. Moreover, in Russia, only 40% of the market is occupied by such products created in industrial scale... Basically, the seedlings are supplied by summer residents.

There are two directions for organizing such a business:

  • Growing seedlings ... To do this, wild trees are grown from the seeds of apples, cherries, pears, etc., which, at the age of one year, are pricked with twigs from various cultivated varieties of fruits and berries. Within a few months after the plant takes on the cutting, it can be sold on the market.
  • Growing seedlings ... In this case, you will need to purchase special containers or boxes in which the seeds are placed. Since it will be necessary to present seedlings for sale in early spring, special greenhouses will be required to grow them.

The most popular products on the market are:

  • Berry bushes - raspberries, currants, gooseberries, blackberries.
  • Fruit trees - apple, pear, plum, apricot, cherry.
  • Vegetable crops - tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, cabbage, eggplants.

The sale of seedlings and seedlings will have to be carried out independently: as a rule, large agricultural farms independently provide themselves with young plants.

Business benefits

  1. High seasonal demand.
  2. Minimum investment.

Business disadvantages

  1. Seasonality, high probability of force majeure (plant death).
  2. Significant industry competition.
  3. The need for knowledge of agrotechnical subtleties in matters.

Organization of a recreation center or boarding house on the site

If there is a forest, grove, picturesque lake or river near the personal or summer cottage - the organization of a private boarding house becomes the only one the right decision... You should not think that this is an unbearably difficult task: you can start with a rather simplified version.

  • First of all , for delivery to vacationers, you can equip a house on the site or install several cabins-change houses on it, designed for a different number of people (from 2 to 5 people).
  • Secondly , you need to take care of water, gas, electricity, sewerage.
  • Thirdly , a bathhouse or a sauna, gazebos with tables and benches, barbecues, children's and sports grounds, frame pool, etc.

If we are talking about a specialized recreation center, then it is possible to organize the provision of special equipment for rent (for hiking, swimming, climbing), as well as provide for the positions of instructors and guides in the staff.

IN general view the staff of such a company should consist of an administrator, security guards. Cleaning ladies, medical worker, a locksmith, as well as cooks and waiters (if you plan to organize a dining room).

An important aspect is the organization of a guarded parking lot for customers' cars. Cabins can be rented on an hourly or daily basis. In the presence of effective system heating houses in a picturesque area can be rented all year round.

Business benefits

  1. Significant demand.
  2. High income.

Business disadvantages

  1. High initial investment.
  2. The complexity of the organization.
  3. Payback in 2-3 years.

Lease of land, summer cottages

The simplest, but least profitable option is leasing a plot.

There are several options for this business option:

  • If there is a house on the site - it can be taken for rest.
  • If there are shrubs and fruit trees on the site - it can be handed over for harvest seasonally.
  • If the soil of the site is fertile , then it can be handed over to farmers for the warm season.

Delivery announcements are usually posted on electronic bulletin boards on the Internet, as well as in local print media.

Business benefits

  1. Ease of business organization.
  2. No upfront costs.

Business disadvantages

  1. Low profitability.

Organization of a contact zoo

An innovative idea of \u200b\u200busing the land plot is the creation of a contact zoo. It can be imagined in the form of numerous open and closed enclosures that house horses, rabbits, ducks, geese, turkeys, sheep, goats, and perhaps even ostriches.

It is noteworthy that such a zoo can be combined with subsidiary farm ("Show" goats do not stop giving milk, and chickens - to lay eggs). That is why it makes sense to organize a sales point for agricultural products on its territory.

What kind interesting events can offer such a contact zoo for visitors:

  • First of all , standard excursions.
  • Secondly , classes for schoolchildren.
  • Thirdly feeding animals together with visitors.
  • Fourth , horseback riding, etc.

The entrepreneur will need to take care of the competent organization of the zoo space, the installation of aviaries, the purchase of feed, the improvement of the territory, and the formation of the work schedule.

To service animals, 3-4 workers will be required, including a full-time veterinarian. It is also important to take care of hiring 2-3 guides.

Advertisements can be placed in local print media. The zoo's revenues come from ticket sales, agricultural products and additional services (photos with animals, feeding pets, renting a playground, selling cotton candy and ice cream)

Business benefits

  1. The ability to combine with agricultural activities and provide a range of additional services.
  2. Significant profitability.

Gone are the days when many people with garden tools every weekend got out of town to weed and dig at their own dacha. Today the situation has changed dramatically - lovers of outdoor activities are increasingly thinking about turning land plots into a source of income.

There are a huge number of small business ideas for suburban real estate owners. The maintenance of a summer residence can bring not only pleasure from spending time on it, but also a good profit to its owners. Let's talk about the most popular types commercial activitieswhich can be organized with minimal cost.

Business on a personal plot

Before choosing the direction of doing business in the country, you need to decide what your practical skills can benefit people. It is easy to guess that if a person is well versed, for example, in breeding crayfish at home or chinchillas, he is unlikely to be interested in growing flowers or seeds. Like any kind business activities, a business in the country will need to be registered with the Federal Tax Service.

Beekeeping

If near the summer cottage there are fruit trees, shrubs and other melliferous plants, you can organize the work of an apiary. At all times, beekeeping has brought good and stable profits to people, because such products are always in great consumer demand.

Even a small farm can provide quite a decent income, since in addition to honey, beekeepers sell wax, honeycomb, propolis, beading and other products that the apiary gives. Before starting to organize a business, you should understand the specifics of this type of activity.

The beekeeper needs to know how to place the hives on the site, properly disinfect them, care for and breed insects, work with special equipment, and collect honey. If a person decides to open an apiary, it is worth remembering that it is undesirable to simultaneously breed livestock, since bees do not tolerate being close to animals well - this reduces the honey content.

In order to increase the amount of honey, it does not hurt to get a truck transport, on which the hives are taken to the fields and other places where there are suitable plants. To organize an apiary of 5-10 bee colonies, large investments are not required. During the season, 1 family can bring about 40 kg of honey (at a market value of 300 rubles per 1 kg, the benefit becomes obvious).

Playground

Quite often people come to their dachas with their whole families, so there are usually many children in the villages. This fact should be used to make a profit, since you can organize a playground or a pool for children on your own site. It also makes sense to consider the installation of equipment such as:

  • inflatable trampoline;
  • swing;
  • slides.

This business idea can be very rewarding and profitable, as parents can leave their kids in the playground for a few hours or even a whole day. It does not hurt to think over what activities will be of interest to young visitors. As a rule, towns or playrooms in summer cottages work according to the principle summer camps or development centers, and payment for services is charged hourly.

As for investments in organizing a business, they depend on the capabilities of the entrepreneur. For example, to equip playroom, you need to invest about 30 thousand rubles, and the installation of a swing and equipment on the site will cost 20 thousand rubles.

Country workshop

If a person has a desire to make money on needlework, you can convert any site structure into a summer cottage workshop. This type of business will become a profitable business for various kinds of craftsmen, because there will be plenty of work in the village. For example, many people come to country houses on their own cars. Very often they require minor repairs, so it makes sense to organize a small workshop and provide appropriate services.

In addition, the residents of the village often break all kinds of equipment, agricultural tools and implements, as well as various household items fail. All this will provide the jack of all trades with a sufficient number of orders, and he will be able to make good money.

Workshop activities are best organized in a garage or small shed. It is imperative to install a workbench and fix the grinding machine on it. As for such equipment as a chainsaw, a grinder, a hammer drill and a welding machine, they can be rented at first. People will quickly spread information about a good master, so he doesn't even have to advertise his activities.

Advice: the master can organize production at his summer cottage wooden toys... They are in great demand among buyers, respectively - such activities can bring a stable income.

Bath renting

This option for doing business is ideal for those people who have a summer cottage not far from the city (and, of course, if it has a modern bathhouse). Agree, there will always be plenty of people who want to take a steam bath, so it will bring good profit. The attendance of the bathhouse is influenced not only by the location, but also by the beautiful area near the cottage, as well as the high-quality interior decoration of the steam room and cleanliness. To create comfortable conditions for visitors, you need to install on the site:

  • a place to relax (preferably with a gazebo);
  • brazier or grill installation;
  • pool with cool water.

The bathhouse can bring a stable income all year round. Many people prefer to visit the same places, so with the right organization, you can attract a lot of regular customers in a fairly short time. To do this, it is worth warming up the bathhouse at the time agreed with the customers, constantly replenishing the supply of firewood, and ensuring the availability of various drinks and snacks. In great demand the visitors of the bath use cold beer and water, so you should worry about the assortment.

Often, baths' clients negotiate with the owners the possibility of organizing a feast in advance. This can bring a good profit, because barbecue and various dishes in such establishments are quite expensive. The owner of the suburban area often acts as a bath attendant. If necessary, he can attract an assistant who wants to earn extra money in his free time.

Many summer residents have already assessed the prospects of this business and are investing in the construction of baths on their plots. With the proper organization of your own business, investments can be returned in less than a year. If there is already a ready-made bathhouse, small investments are needed at the start. The entrepreneur will need to buy hats, brooms, wooden tubs, as well as supply his own company with firewood and provisions.

Ecotourism

IN last years such a direction in business as ecotourism has gained great popularity. It is known that the frantic pace of life of people in large cities, where strong gas pollution prevails, leads to various diseases. Therefore, many residents of megalopolises try to leave the city in order to actively relax in nature and gain strength.

What is needed to organize tourist excursions? First of all, it is extremely important that the dacha is located in a picturesque area (preferably with a reservoir) and not far from the highway. The organization of ecotourism requires a lot of investment from a person. This is due to the fact that you will have to develop a program of activities for people who come to rest. Many entrepreneurs organize, for example, farms for breeding ostriches and other exotic animals, where everyone can not only have a good time, learn a lot for themselves, but also try the manufacturer's specialties.

On large land holdings, you can organize a whole complex where people will comfortably relax in nature. For this, it makes sense to install a playground, prepare a parking lot, build a mini-motel, open a cafe or organize a kitchen with the ability self-cooking dishes in nature.

Important: Despite the fact that an ecotourism business requires a lot of capital at the start, investments in the development of the enterprise will pay off with interest, since lovers of high-quality outdoor activities will not decrease in the near future.

Land lease

You can lease the land plot of your own summer cottage and earn good money on it. Who will be interested in such a service? First you need to understand that not every person has vacation homewhere he could rest.

People are ready to rent summer cottages to spend their time there on weekends. In addition, the use of someone else's land for money may be required by those entrepreneurs who wish to organize there own production various agricultural products.

If the area of \u200b\u200bthe site exceeds 6 acres, it is possible to grow, for example, medicinal herbs, flowers and other crops in large volumes on the land. Clients should be searched for on city business forums or through advertisements in the media. Renting summer cottages allows you to receive passive income and not invest in the development of the enterprise.

Animal breeding

Breeding animals and poultry at your own dacha can also bring very good profits. This allows you to receive income from the sale:

  • meat;
  • milk;
  • fur;
  • young animals.

If you have several cows, you can get a very decent income. One animal gives about 30 liters of milk per day, which will bring 900 rubles. In addition, calves appear every year - they can be sold in live weight and receive additional money from this. In addition, milk will be used to produce cheese, butter, sour cream and cottage cheese, which will always have regular customers. The same goes for breeding goats at home. In addition to dairy products, their content gives meat, which is valued on a par with lamb. Goat hair can be used to make yarn and make clothes or socks, which will additionally allow entrepreneurs to make good money.

It is impossible not to mention the prospects for breeding rabbits. For their maintenance, you will need to purchase cages that should be placed in a spacious barn. In regions with harsh climates, it is recommended to provide indoor heating. There are no problems with the sale of products (meat and skins), since such goods are quickly sold out on collective farm markets at a good price.

At the dacha, it will be possible to organize activities in the cultivation poultry - quails, chickens, ducks, turkeys or guinea fowls. Their meat and eggs in great price, therefore, entrepreneurs will constantly generate income. To grow poultry, you need to allocate a spacious building, where you need to conduct electricity and heating. The cost of purchasing feed and utilities relatively small. In addition, it will not hurt to raise chickens and sell them, which will also allow you to earn extra money.

Growing plants

You can organize a profitable business on your plot of land by growing various plants. To determine the choice of crops, you should focus on climatic conditions region of residence. For example, in the south of the country, when installing a greenhouse, there is a chance to get a harvest all year round, which cannot be said about the northern regions.

The specificity of such activities is that an entrepreneur should not switch to growing different types plants, it is better to focus on one thing. A good result will be the cultivation of greens, which can be sold daily at collective farm markets. The main advantage of this area of \u200b\u200bcrop production is the rapid growth of crops:

  • dill;
  • parsley;
  • basilica;
  • salad;
  • green onions;
  • celery;
  • cilantro.

Each summer resident, if desired, can start growing mushrooms at home (oyster mushrooms and champignons), while entrepreneurs do not need large investments. For a mini-farm, the premises of barns, cellars, garages and other buildings are used. The mushrooms are grown in compost bags that need to be watered periodically. On an area of \u200b\u200b50 m? you can collect up to ten tons of mature mushrooms. Wholesalers buy champignons at 100 rubles per 1 kg. The profit is clear.

Important: growing strawberries and strawberries at home brings a fairly good income. To do this, it is recommended to find a room, place racks with bags in it, carry out communications and grow crops using one of the simple technologies (there are many of them on the Internet). Today the competition in this niche is insignificant, which makes this business very promising.

Early vegetables are expensive and therefore profitable to grow. To organize such activities, greenhouses should be built, water supplied for irrigation, and lighting and heating should be provided. Cucumbers, tomatoes and garlic are in great demand. If the prospect does not appeal retail vegetables and fruits, you can hand over your products in large quantities to wholesalers (albeit at a lower price).

Smokehouse earnings

Despite the fact that many dachas have smokehouses, most people cook meat and fish for themselves. For this reason, the business in the production and sale of smoked meats does not have much competition. Nevertheless, an entrepreneur who wants to make money in this particular area will have to face a number of difficulties.

First of all, you need to determine the volume of production, calculate the dimensions of the smokehouse and the possible amount of finished products. You should also obtain permission for your activities in Rospotrebnadzor and the sanitary and epidemiological station, since it will be associated with the manufacture and sale of food.

There are usually no problems with the sale of smoked meat, fish and poultry. Enterprises are happy to take them catering, retail Stores and resellers in the market. If you combine raising animals with smoking meat, you can achieve good results and scale the business over time.

Growing seeds and seedlings

This type of activity is suitable for summer residents who like to work on the land. Seeds, seedlings and seedlings can be grown in parallel with crops, vegetables, fruits and bring additional income in season. To grow seedlings, you need to build greenhouses and conduct communications to them. Even in small areas, several thousand bushes can be placed different cultures... Seedlings of bell peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers and cabbage are in good demand.

It is also worth considering the option of growing seedlings of fruit trees, especially those species that yield a harvest several years after transplanting to a permanent place. They can be planted in spacious summer cottages. There is always a great consumer demand for such products, so the entrepreneur will not be left without earnings.

How much can you earn on your personal plot?

It is easy to guess that the level of income from your summer cottage will largely depend on the chosen direction of activity (it is still influenced by geographic location site, the presence of communications, type of buildings and other factors).

If the summer cottage is located within or near the city, it can be rented out. The price for it can fluctuate between 20-50 thousand rubles per month. Growing onions for feathers and herbs allows entrepreneurs to earn about 20-30 thousand rubles a month. At the same time, it is possible to harvest from your site up to 6 times in 1 year.

If the owner of suburban real estate decides to grow and sell flowers, his profit can exceed 100 thousand rubles per month. Investments in flower business pay off within 6-8 months. The most popular crop is the rose, so you can grow its popular varieties on your site and earn decent money.

A small apiary of 10 bee colonies can yield about 400 kg of honey per season. If you sell it at 300 rubles per 1 kg, the income will be about 120 thousand rubles. Taking into account the sale of products of vital activity of insects, the profit can reach 150 thousand rubles.

When breeding rabbits, it will be possible to earn about 50-70 thousand rubles a month. As we have already said, entrepreneurs receive income from the sale of meat and skins. The activity is quite promising, since there is no high competition in this area. It is also worth taking a close look at the enterprises that provide various services in a holiday village. In their absence, it is possible to organize the work of a hairdresser or car workshop, which will undoubtedly be in great demand.

A land plot has been considered one of the most reliable sources of income for many centuries. But as a result of the industrial revolution of the early twentieth century and the subsequent resettlement of the active population to the city, villages and villages began to empty, and the culture of private farming was gradually lost, which allows not only to establish a business on land, but also to gradually expand the business to a large farms.

If you like to work on the land or you want to make money using the opportunities of a summer cottage, then you will have to study and work a lot, in fact setting the entrepreneurial potential of property that was not originally intended to be extracted economic profit, but serves only to meet the own everyday needs of the owner of the site.

How can you make money on your site

It is no secret that Russia is the largest agricultural country in the world. We have the most arable land, there are conditions for growing almost all types of cereals, vegetables and fruits, and we also have outstanding agronomists and farmers. But against the background of all this prosperity, the fact is obvious to us that using our own land plots for running a small family business we do not know how.

This is due to the fact that for about 80 years in our country the right to private ownership of land was prohibited, and the use of a summer cottage for entrepreneurship, albeit not strictly, was prohibited.

There are no prohibitions today. Therefore, the current generation can revive the cultivator's culture and lay the foundation that will allow the next generations to freely use such an asset as a land plot, and competently extract a good profit from it.

Most often today a land plot is a fenced area with a house and outbuildings. The territory of the site is small, up to 100 sq. m. This allotment can be used to earn money without registering entrepreneurial activity. Commerce begins when an entrepreneur acquires or leases agricultural or commercial land.

The main directions for business on your plot of land:

  • craft workshop;
  • a greenhouse for growing flowers and vegetables in the cold season;
  • farm for raising animals (see);
  • poultry house (read about).

When planning a business on his land, an entrepreneur must remember that he has a very limited territorial resource. On his site, he will not be able to allocate a lot of space for the beds and place hundreds of heads of birds or animals. Therefore, one of the main tasks for such an entrepreneur is to find ways to optimally use the territory of the entire courtyard. Many active businessmen are building entire engineering structures, the main task of which is to create a multi-tiered and multifunctional space with favorable conditions for growing plants or animals.

Growing plants, vegetables and fruits

Difficult climatic conditions, a long cold period and a small number of sunny days a year in a large part of Russia - all this creates an additional demand for fresh vegetables and fruits among the population. A summer resident can grow on his territory different varieties of berries, cucumbers, tomatoes, bell peppers, herbs for culinary spices, onions, garlic, etc. Read what income can bring.

To earn money from gardening in the warm season, the territory of one middle plot will not be enough to grow a crop that can provide profit. But the construction of a greenhouse for the cold season will not only benefit, but for the first season will cover all the starting costs for the construction of a greenhouse complex.

Heated polycarbonate prefabricated greenhouses are best suited for these purposes. Modern technologies make it possible to build such a greenhouse with minimal costs. For entrepreneurs who are intimidated by the prospect of heating the greenhouse for a long period of time, there are many solutions that allow them to economically use energy resources.

Workshop at home

One of the best ideas for business on your plot of land is the opening of a repair or production workshop.

You can repair furniture household appliances, clocks, garden tools, etc.

You can produce bricks, nails (see), decorative tiles, mesh netting and much more, which does not require complex equipment and large labor costs. In fact, one person can be engaged in the production of all listed products.

As long as you do not cooperate with legal entities and you make piece goods for sale to other citizens, you do not need to register your business activity. But if you still go out to large volumes and plan to cooperate with large procurement companies, then you will need the status of an entrepreneur.

Today both Russian and Chinese sellers production equipment offer good machines for the manufacture of piece goods at an affordable price. In order to make the right choice, study the experience of using these machines. Most often, in practice, there are many nuances that are best taken into account before the purchase is paid.

Find out, . We will give examples of successful directions and show you where to start a business.

Livestock business

Growing animals or poultry in a summer cottage is one of the most troublesome activities. But if you like this truly rural work, then you can not only provide your family with high-quality and healthy foods, but you will also make good money on your favorite business.

It is believed that it is most profitable to keep in the household:

  • cows;
  • pigs (see);
  • chickens (meat and layers).

Any household can serve two cows, three or four pigs, a couple of dozen laying hens and meat hens. The profit from such a farm will be very significant. Three pigs for sale will give an income of about 50 thousand rubles, about 10 thousand rubles - the cost of compound feed. Net profit will be approximately 40 thousand rubles.

The profit from a cow is more difficult to calculate. On average, two cows produce about 20 liters of milk per day. When selling all the milk yield per day, the hostess can earn about one and a half thousand rubles, not counting the sale of sour cream, cottage cheese and yogurt. Such a farm will not only feed the whole family, but also provide an opportunity to save money for large purchases.

Summarize

There are not so many business ideas on earth. All of them originate from those ancient times when the land fed its owner and his family. And now even the smallest plot, which is maximally used for business, can give its owner a good entrepreneurial profit. An important plus of this format is that while you are working on your site, you are not required to register as an entrepreneur.

Gone are the days when many people with garden tools every weekend got out of town to weed and dig at their own dacha. Today the situation has changed dramatically - lovers of outdoor activities are increasingly thinking about turning land plots into a source of income.

There are a huge number of small business ideas for suburban real estate owners. The maintenance of a summer house can bring not only pleasure from spending time on it, but also a good profit for its owners. Let's talk about the most popular types of commercial activities that can be organized with minimal costs.

Business on a personal plot

Before choosing the direction of doing business in the country, you need to decide what your practical skills can benefit people. It is easy to guess that if a person is well versed, for example, in or chinchillas, it is unlikely that he will be interested in growing flowers or seeds. Like any type of entrepreneurial activity, a business in the country will need to be registered with the Federal Tax Service.

Beekeeping

If fruit trees, shrubs and other melliferous plants are located near the summer cottage, you can organize the work of an apiary. At all times it brought good and stable profit to people, because such products are always in great consumer demand.

Even a small farm can provide quite a decent income, since in addition to honey, beekeepers sell wax, honeycomb, propolis, beading and other products that the apiary gives. Before starting to organize a business, you should understand the specifics of this type of activity.

The beekeeper needs to know how to place the hives on the site, properly disinfect them, care for and breed insects, work with special equipment, and collect honey. If a person decides to open an apiary, it is worth remembering that it is undesirable to simultaneously breed livestock, since bees do not tolerate being close to animals well - this reduces the honey content.

In order to increase the amount of honey, it does not hurt to get a truck transport, on which the hives are taken to the fields and other places where there are suitable plants. To organize an apiary of 5-10 bee colonies, large investments are not required. During the season, 1 family can bring about 40 kg of honey (at a market value of 300 rubles per 1 kg, the benefit becomes obvious).

Playground

Quite often people come to their dachas with their whole families, so there are usually many children in the villages. This fact should be used to make a profit, since you can organize a playground or a pool for children on your own site. It also makes sense to consider the installation of equipment such as:

  • inflatable trampoline;
  • swing;
  • slides.

This business idea can be very rewarding and profitable, as parents can leave their kids in the playground for a few hours or even a whole day. It does not hurt to think over what activities will be of interest to little visitors. As a rule, camps or playrooms in dachas operate on the principle of summer camps or development centers, and payment for services is charged hourly.

As for investments in organizing a business, they depend on the capabilities of the entrepreneur. For example, to equip a playroom, you need to invest about 30 thousand rubles, and the installation of a swing and equipment on the playground will cost 20 thousand rubles.

Country workshop

If a person has a desire, you can convert any structure of the site into a summer cottage workshop. This type of business will become a profitable business for various kinds of craftsmen, because there will be plenty of work in the village. For example, many people come to their country houses in their own cars. Very often they require minor repairs, so it makes sense to organize a small workshop and provide appropriate services.

In addition, the residents of the village often break all kinds of equipment, agricultural tools and implements, as well as various household items fail. All this will provide the jack of all trades with a sufficient number of orders, and he will be able to make good money.

Workshop activities are best organized in a garage or small shed. It is imperative to install a workbench and fix the grinding machine on it. As for such equipment as a chainsaw, a grinder, a hammer drill and a welding machine, they can be rented at first. People will quickly spread information about a good master, so he doesn't even have to advertise his activities.

Advice: the master can organize at his summer cottage. They are in great demand among buyers, respectively - such activities can bring a stable income.

Bathhouse rent

This option for doing business is ideal for those people who have a summer cottage not far from the city (and, of course, if it has a modern bathhouse). Agree, there will always be plenty of people who want to take a steam bath, so it will bring good profit. The attendance of the bathhouse is influenced not only by the location, but also by the beautiful area near the cottage, as well as the high-quality interior decoration of the steam room and cleanliness. To create comfortable conditions for visitors, you need to install on the site:

  • a place to relax (preferably with a gazebo);
  • brazier or grill installation;
  • pool with cool water.

The bathhouse can bring a stable income all year round. Many people prefer to visit the same places, so with the right organization, you can attract a lot of regular customers in a fairly short time. To do this, it is worth warming up the bathhouse by the time agreed with the customers, constantly replenishing the supply of firewood, and ensuring the availability of various drinks and snacks. Cold beer and water are in great demand among the visitors of the bath, so you should worry about the assortment.

Often, baths' clients negotiate with the owners the possibility of organizing a feast in advance. This can bring a good profit, because barbecue and various dishes in such establishments are quite expensive. The owner of the summer cottage often acts as a bath attendant. If necessary, he can attract an assistant who wishes.

Many summer residents have already assessed the prospects of this business and are investing in the construction of baths on their plots. With the proper organization of your own business, investments can be returned in less than a year. If there is already a ready-made bathhouse, small investments are needed at the start. The entrepreneur will need to buy hats, brooms, wooden tubs, as well as supply his own company with firewood and provisions.

Ecotourism

In recent years, such a direction in business as ecotourism has become very popular. It is known that the frantic pace of life of people in large cities, where strong gas pollution prevails, leads to various diseases. Therefore, many residents of megalopolises try to leave the city in order to actively relax in nature and gain strength.

What is needed to organize tourist excursions? First of all, it is extremely important that the dacha is located in a picturesque area (preferably with a reservoir) and not far from the highway. The organization of ecotourism requires a lot of investment from a person. This is due to the fact that you will have to develop a program of activities for people who come to rest. Many entrepreneurs organize, for example, farms for breeding ostriches and other exotic animals, where everyone can not only have a good time, learn a lot for themselves, but also try the manufacturer's specialties.

On large land holdings, you can organize a whole complex where people will comfortably relax in nature. To do this, it makes sense to install a playground, prepare a parking lot, build a mini-motel, open a cafe or organize a kitchen with the possibility of self-cooking in nature.

Important: Despite the fact that an ecotourism business requires a lot of capital at the start, investments in the development of the enterprise will pay off with interest, since lovers of high-quality outdoor activities will not decrease in the near future.

Land lease

You can lease the land plot of your own summer cottage and earn good money on it. Who will be interested in such a service? First you need to understand that not every person has a country house where he could rest.

People are ready to rent summer cottages to spend their time there on weekends. In addition, the use of someone else's land for money may be required by those entrepreneurs who wish to organize their own production of various agricultural products there.

If the area of \u200b\u200bthe site exceeds 6 acres, it is possible to grow, for example, medicinal herbs, flowers and other crops in large volumes on the land. Clients should be searched for on city business forums or through advertisements in the media. Renting summer cottages allows you to receive passive income and not invest in the development of the enterprise.

Animal breeding

Breeding animals and poultry at your own dacha can also bring very good profits. This allows you to receive income from the sale:

  • meat;
  • milk;
  • fur;
  • young animals.

If you have several cows, you can get a very decent income. One animal gives about 30 liters of milk per day, which will bring 900 rubles. In addition, calves appear every year - they can be sold in live weight and receive additional money from this. In addition, milk will be used to produce cheese, butter, sour cream and cottage cheese, which will always have regular customers. The same goes for breeding goats at home. In addition to dairy products, their content gives meat, which is valued on a par with lamb. Goat hair can be used to make yarn and make clothes or socks, which will additionally allow entrepreneurs to make good money.

It is impossible not to mention the prospects for breeding rabbits. For their maintenance, you will need to purchase cages that should be placed in a spacious barn. In regions with harsh climates, it is recommended to provide indoor heating. There are no problems with the sale of products (meat and skins), since such goods are quickly sold out on collective farm markets at a good price.

At the dacha, it will also be possible to organize activities for raising poultry - quails, chickens, ducks, turkeys or guinea fowls. Their meat and eggs are at a great price, so entrepreneurs will constantly receive income. To grow poultry, you need to allocate a spacious building, where you need to conduct electricity and heating. The costs of purchasing feed and utilities are relatively low. In addition, it will not hurt to raise chickens and sell them, which will also allow you to earn extra money.

Growing plants

You can organize a profitable business on your plot of land by growing various plants. To determine the choice of crops, you should focus on the climatic conditions of the region of residence. For example, in the south of the country, when installing a greenhouse, there is a chance to get a harvest all year round, which cannot be said about the northern regions.

The specificity of such activities lies in the fact that an entrepreneur should not switch to growing various types of plants, it is better to focus on one thing. A good result will be the cultivation of greens, which can be sold daily at collective farm markets. The main advantage of this area of \u200b\u200bcrop production is the rapid growth of crops:

  • dill;
  • parsley;
  • basilica;
  • salad;
  • green onions;
  • celery;
  • cilantro.

Each summer resident, if desired, can start growing mushrooms at home (oyster mushrooms and champignons), while entrepreneurs do not need large investments. For a mini-farm, the premises of barns, cellars, garages and other buildings are used. The mushrooms are grown in compost bags that need to be watered periodically. On an area of \u200b\u200b50 m², you can collect up to ten tons of mature mushrooms. Wholesalers buy champignons at 100 rubles per 1 kg. The profit is clear.

Important: strawberries at home also bring good income. To do this, it is recommended to find a room, place racks with bags in it, carry out communications and grow crops using one of the simple technologies (there are many of them on the Internet). Today the competition in this niche is insignificant, which makes this business very promising.

Early vegetables are expensive and therefore profitable to grow. To organize such activities, greenhouses should be built, water supplied for irrigation, and lighting and heating should be provided. Cucumbers, tomatoes and garlic are in great demand. If you are not attracted by the prospect of retail, you can sell your products in large quantities to wholesalers (albeit at a lower price).

Smokehouse earnings

Despite the fact that many dachas have smokehouses, most people cook meat and fish for themselves. For this reason, the business in the production and sale of smoked meats does not have much competition. Nevertheless, an entrepreneur who wants to make money in this particular area will have to face a number of difficulties.

First of all, you need to determine the volume of production, calculate the dimensions of the smokehouse and the possible amount of finished products. You should also obtain permission for your activities in Rospotrebnadzor and the sanitary and epidemiological station, since it will be associated with the manufacture and sale of food.

There are usually no problems with the sale of smoked meat, fish and poultry. They are accepted with pleasure by catering establishments, retail stores and dealers in the market. If you combine raising animals with smoking meat, you can achieve good results and scale the business over time.

Growing seeds and seedlings

This type of activity is suitable for summer residents who like to work on the land. Seeds, seedlings and seedlings can be grown in parallel with crops, vegetables, fruits and bring additional income in season. To grow seedlings, you need to build greenhouses and conduct communications to them. Even in small areas, several thousand bushes of various crops can be placed. Seedlings of bell peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers and cabbage are in good demand.

It is also worth considering the option of growing seedlings of fruit trees, especially those species that yield a harvest several years after transplanting to a permanent place. They can be planted in spacious summer cottages. There is always a great consumer demand for such products, so the entrepreneur will not be left without earnings.

How much can you earn on your personal plot?

It is easy to guess that the level of income from your summer cottage will largely depend on the chosen area of \u200b\u200bactivity (it is also influenced by the geographical location of the site, the availability of communications, type of buildings and other factors).

If the summer cottage is located within or near the city, it can be rented out. The price for it can fluctuate between 20-50 thousand rubles per month. Growing onions for feathers and herbs allows entrepreneurs to earn about 20-30 thousand rubles a month. At the same time, it is possible to harvest from your site up to 6 times in 1 year.

If the owner of suburban real estate decides to grow and sell flowers, his profit can exceed 100 thousand rubles per month. Investments in the flower business pay off within 6-8 months. The most popular crop is the rose, so you can grow its popular varieties on your site and earn decent money.

A small apiary of 10 bee colonies can yield about 400 kg of honey per season. If you sell it at 300 rubles per 1 kg, the income will be about 120 thousand rubles. Taking into account the sale of products of vital activity of insects, the profit can reach 150 thousand rubles.

When breeding rabbits, it will be possible to earn about 50-70 thousand rubles a month. As we have already said, entrepreneurs receive income from the sale of meat and skins. The activity is quite promising, since there is no high competition in this area. It is also worth taking a closer look at the enterprises that provide various services in the holiday village. In their absence, it is possible to organize the work of a hairdresser or car workshop, which will undoubtedly be in great demand.
