Project
Farm Name
We Tiny Farm
Farm Project Description
We want to engage in a sustainable and quality lifestyle. We have an efficient tinyhouse on wheels and now we are wanting to find a great location to setup our home. We require power and water, but not septic, as we have a composting toilet. We plan to set up a gray water system to recycle the water from our kitchen sink and bathtub to water our flowers and plants. Our goal is to grow our own organic food and develop a business based on food production, plants and flowers so that we can work from home. Having enough space and exposure to expand the gardens and have a greenhouse(s) would be ideal.
