Updated Aug 7, 2025
Seeking
- 11-50 Total acres
- 0-5 Acres of cropland or tillable land
- 11-50 Acres of pasture
Desired locations
Seeking farmland for lease, or rent to own, with 1+ acres to be immediate vegetable production and future expansion.
Plan
Currently farming for income status is paused and I am testing varietes for resilience amd adaptability.
Upon aquisition of apace to produce, I plan to immediately launch a market garden operation. I have experience turning multiple fallow and undernourished spaces into vegetable producrion very quickly.
This will lay sales foundations, and the project will expand into a staple food crop productions of flour corns, and heirloom rices, eventually leading into animal husbandry.
My farming practices fall somewhere between John Jeavons square foot gardening, and the wildness of Fukuoka. I have preference to fermeted fertlizers and homemade herbal pest management instead of commercial producta.
