Farming full-time

Desired locations
Searching for organic, regenerative, biodynamic land to call home.
Plan
We rely on regenerative and biodynamic practices. I, Hannah, am a teacher and would love to run a forest school on the land. Ben's calling is to grow food for our family and the community on a small-scale level. We both believe in providing pollinator forage as well and this really impacts the way that we manage our land. We also plan to keep honey bees using a biodynamic approach. And depending on the size of the land we are able to afford, maybe cattle as well.
