Looking for the following:
Type of opportunity:
Lease (1 to 5 Years), Lease (5+ Years), Incubator / Mentored Lease.
More info: Ideally I would like to raise and start a mixed breeding herd consisting of beef cattle, sheep, meat goats, and pigs (if there is enough land) while also raising poultry for egg and meat production. At some point I plan on acquiring a mobile slaughterhouse in order to do my own butchering and diversify income as well as start a candy store. For crop production I plan on growing microgreens and if possible at some point fruits, vegetables, hay, and hemp. I am on the fence about trying to grow mushrooms and raising honeybees.
Equipment & infrastructure:
Barn, Fencing, Greenhouse, Livestock facilities, Farmer housing.
More info: I will most likely need on site housing due to cost of rent as well as barns for storing equipment and holding livestock temporarily that are more vulnerable to predators while I acquire livestock guard dogs and run an AI program. An on site greenhouse would be preferred but not necessary.
Qualifications and goals:
Previous farming experience:
Employee
Production goals:
Cattle (Dairy/Beef), Hay or pasture, Hemp, Poultry (Broiler/Layer), Sheep/Goat (Dairy/Meat), Vegetable production.
Personal experience and production goals summary:
I have two associate degrees one in Agricultural Business and the other in Enviromental Studies. During my high school days I took Animal Science. I also worked on a commercial chicken farm for around three years and I grew up around horses. My end goal is to generate enough farm income so I can buy my own farm.
