Sale (Standard), Sale (Owner Financed), Employment with Transfer.
Equipment & infrastructure:
Barn, Well / Pond / Other water source.
More info: Electric would be great
Current farming practices:
Ecological production but not certified.
More info: I would like to integrate into a community and be a producer of nutrient dense food and consumer of "waste" products. I would like to talk with people and let them know who grows their food versus rely on a label. If customers trust me, they will trust my growing practices.
Qualifications and goals:
Previous farming experience:
Volunteer, Employee, Manager
Number of years experience:
8
Other qualifications:

More info: I build my farming foundation at the Organic Farm School on Whidbey island under Ghislain Jutras. I then apprenticed for "The Market Gardener" Jean-Martin Fortier where I learned ecological production. Finally, I apprenticed at the Stone Barns Center in the Hudson valley to learn how to convey and connect the dots of healthy food production. Since then, I have managed educational farms, farm-to-table restaurant farms, as well as helped multiple families build the farms of their dreams.
Production goals:
Cattle (Dairy/Beef), Field crops, Flowers, Hay or pasture, Hemp, Herbs, Hogs, Honey bees, Orchard, Poultry (Broiler/Layer), Sheep/Goat (Dairy/Meat), Vegetable production, Vineyard, Woodlot or forest products.
More info: I do not want to fit a farm onto a piece of land. Instead, I would like to read the land and get to know its history, then building a farm around a central goal of ecological production and restoration with the use of regenerative agriculture systems.
