Come up with a crazy business idea.

Back when I was in Venezuela, I used to joke around that I was going to start a business where I would take goats to places that were overgrown with vegetation. The idea was that the goats would devore all unwanted plants and that people who needed to clean their lot or mown their lawn would hire me (ehem, my goats).

The business would be named “Chivojardin”, which could be translated to “Goatgarden”. People used to laugh about that, and so did I. However, last year I found out that that business actually exists, and that even if it doesn’t have a name as cool as mine, it’s still kinda cool 🙂

I found one example, Goats on the Go and Hire Goats. It seems that my idea was not crazy at all, and I hope that all hired goats get a lot of delicious food and enjoy their job.

    Think goat feeding/ working the land with them being hired to do the job has been round while. Why did you start it when you where talking about it?

      Oh, I didn’t have the funds to start the project. It would have been a great experience. Maybe in the future I’ll do it 🙂

    Hmm, that would take too much time to implement but maybe customers renting them out for a day would suffice.

      It seems that they are voracious and can clean (eat) very fast.

        More like a couple of hours. It’s good because at least the goats do not have to spend the night (I’d bet they would escape). I’ve found this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ar9mOcNvHSU
