Seeking to start a farm for my family!
Plan
I’ve had some experience with crops grown for my family’s use but look to ultimately build a homestead where we can living fully self sustainable. My wife, 3 kids, and I aim to start “from the ground up” as best we can. In the future we would like to be able to grow all of our own food and also raise farm animals as well for meat.
Desired infrastructure
Equipment and infrastructure details
Any equipment that can be utilized will be greatly appreciated but also not necessary
Preferred type of opportunity

Higher focus on crops over fam animals
Production goals
Goals details
The goal is homesteading to a point where me and mine are taken care of. If there is a surplus then the goal would be more to share with the community rather than making profit
