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