Personal experience and production goals summary:
I grew up on a farm so the love for the outdoors comes naturally. My passion for farming was rekindled about 10 years ago when a friend of mine started raising boer goats and producing honey. I got into the business and loved it. I migrated a few years later and so I am desirous of getting back into farming. Eating healthy is now a priority for me and my family so I want to be able to grow what we eat and eat what we grow. I want to start small and grow from there.
