More info: My name is Francis. I did a full season internship on a successful, biodynamic farm in WNC. After that I ran my own farm with an ex-partner for three years. You can look at photos on [email protected]. We were an ecologically based market farm. I also ran a locally sourced "biscuit bar" at a farmers market.

Production goals:

Flowers, Orchard. More info: I am looking to step away from market farming entirely. I am interested in perennials/orchard&cidery/meat and putting long-lasting infastructure in place to help support those in need of healing, while serving the local community with a csa and donating to food pantries.
