Finding Passion Again

Magno Farms

Magno Farms

Thanks for accepting me to this group. I have owned a successful technology service business for 20 years. Along the way the industry changed and the thankful job I set out to do became very thankless as technology grew. Now it's the button on an app on the phone, I need it now or i'll find someone else mentality. The plan was to allow our son and only child to take over but his life was taken at 23 six months ago over an iPhone theft. I spent the last six months evaluating my life and attempting to find my passion again. It came to me recently, I love hot peppers, I had my first jalapeno at age 10, I use ghost powder on my food daily, eat habaneros whole and above all I love living, growing things. I needed something to bring me out of my constant depression and give me a purpose. The wife and I  decided to create and dedicate "Magno Farms" to my son and the legacy of our name that he cannot carry on after us. I am in the process of building three greenhouses with shade cloth so I can transplant 225+ super hot pepper plants started from seedlings. So far I have kept them all alive. My plan is to enter into the Texas cottage food industry making hot sauce, salsa, pepper mash, dried peppers and powder. We shall see where this takes us. This is a "NO FAIL" situation for me so wish us luck. Look for the name in a few years as I still have a lot to learn.
