Personal experience and production goals summary:

I have 3.5 years of farming experience from livestock to certified organic vegetable production.  I have spent much of this time learning and taking various classes and attending conferences.  I have farmed on leased land but after losing my lease this past fall I am really looking for a LONG TERM situation.  My focus is culinary & medicinal herbs and would love to transition to growing these 100%, however I do plan to grow vegetables for production as well in the mean time.  I also love raising chickens but would only consider keeping them as a holistic farm subject and not for egg or meat production.  The best case scenario would be a place I can live and farm.  I wouldn't mind have to purchase a camper or something to live in, but I would also commute if neccessary.  I have farmed with out a tractor so I am prepared to contract that work out as needed.  I am a highly motivated and organized person who has good communication skills and lots of farming experience.
