Personal experience and production goals summary:

My husband and I are looking for a piece of land with a farm house where we can live, work, and raise our family. We grow vegetables, fruits, herbs, and flowers according to organic standards and raise animals humanely on pasture when possible. Our dream is to provide sustainable foods for our family and our local community, while improving a small piece of earth that will hopefully be passed down to the next generation better than we found it.
