Hello' steffb503, We are located in Oklahoma, we have the milking equipment we need, could stand to upgrade the vacume pump it is the old style that you can't get parts for anymore. Ihave located an entire 4 stall cow parlor that I'll get for maybe $1000 that has 2 milk tanks and is a pipeline system. I'm looking for advice on the floor plan of a small processing area size of room and so on. Wife and I are planning on using the existing 2 car garage as part of this venture, with modifications of course the house will be storage of product,cleaning,and packaging supplies as we are building a smaller cabin home to enjoy. I know this sounds a little strange but my plans are to have most of the investment into the processing equipment, as I have most every thing else I need. I am doing it this way #1. Is because I don't have the finances to build a brand new state of the art facility to start with. #2.If this doesn't work then we will only be out the minimal investment, instead of the 100,000 to 200,000 investment . And besides we don't want to be that big anyway. We are also offering fresh produce,eggs,and any thing else that we can grow and make on our farm. As of right now we are planning on using micro dairy designs equipment, if it will pass the inspection of the milk inspector.I f there is any better equipment out there for comparable price I would like to know about it. Any ideas on how to set up my garage to fit it all in would be greatly appreciated or ideas on how big the processing room needs to be we are not interested in total comfort just yet that will come when we pay for our new barn and double the size of our herd
