Finally, and not least, think like a business person. We all get a little lost in our dreams of a farm and sometimes forget to plan properly or don't know how to. The best book for me was The Organic Farmer’s Business Handbook by Richard Wiswall. The most helpful part was understanding how to set up a crop budget. He includes a cd with templates that you can copy or modify.
2nd finally, don't try to be all things to all people your first year. Pick small variety of species and get a base system set up. Learn from year one and expand from there in species variety and volume.
Best of luck. You can make it happen if you can put in the time!
