More info: Looking to create a farm run as a business for the purpose of generating profit. In a sustainable environment with an emphasis on regenerative agriculture and achieving an organic environment that promotes environmental stability and creates habitats for beneficial animals, plants, and insects to control pests, disease, and other non beneficial species to a farm. My mission is to create a farm that will touch the community and be a staple in the immediate area. Adjusting crops to the needs of the area as well as utilizing the soil to maximize production in a sustainable way. With the potential to create a small compost business or generating compost on site for the farm.

Farmer housing. More info: Infrastructure is not a requirement. But, land owner willing to let me build or set up housing in some form to live on the property full time. Depending on the size of the land and farming area will determine machinery and equipment necessary.

More info: My farm plan is based off of regenerative agriculture principles. Utilizing an abundance of livestock and plant species to create a diverse environment. My inspiration for this farm is a mix of Joel Salatin and the movie "Biggest Little Farm". I have a goal to start fresh and build off that. Further discussion and plans will be made based off of the land. But primarily. Seasonal herbs and vegetables, fruits, grapes, and/or stone fruits, pasture poultry for meat and eggs, pasture/woodland hogs, and possibly goats if needed for brush clearing purposes, A2 dairy producing cattle, for personal use at first will determine profitability later on.

Current farming practices:

Conventional. More info: The farm business plan will be catered to the land and objections to the land owner. Primarily limited til environment and minimal inputs from off property sources. The goal in 5-10 years to be sustainable on the property with no inputs with the possibility of producing own seed varieties on the property.

More info: Production goals is to create a thriving business providing the public a multitude of organically produced items. Utilizing the changing of the seasons to give a variety of items throughout the year to locals through a CSA, farmers market, and or farm stand located on the property or the nearest town/city.

Personal experience and production goals summary:

My goal in life is to be better than the day before and create a lasting impact to the people around me and to be a positive and beneficial member of society. I enjoy helping others as much as I can. A farm has been a goal of mine for many years and I hope to make this dream a reality in the near future. I would like to create a working relationship with the owner/owners to keep them involved as much as they would like to be and open to the financials of the business to ensure profitability not just for the farm but the land as well. I strive for perfection but I miss the mark. I make mistakes and have learned a generous amount in the last decade. There will be more mistakes along my journey but i am a honest and hard working person always willing to make things right at the end of the day.
