Lots of great comments and advice here already so I won't give you technical info. I'll just say this, you're going to learn the most by doing. Information here is helpful, sure, but actually making the mistakes you WILL make is a necessary and important part of the process. Fucking up is not failing, its learning. What type of space are you working with? Do you have the ability to prep via canning/dehydrating/freeze drying? I own and operate a small farm as a side business. So I can give some specific advice depending on your answers.
