Additional information about this property

Seeking as much complementary food production as possible, not mono-production. Prior farmers learned to scale back and do fewer crops better, keeping customers happier and themselves sane. Multiple independent businesses may work better. (Organic or best practices.) Would also like to see cheese production. I’m a builder about to build a house and, depending on the farm production, would like to build a commercial kitchen for the farm's use. Would also like to see a small black soldier fly facility (I could help build), to turn farm waste into protein for chickens. Most important, harmony with all involved.
