Farm Project Description
Looking for access to some ones land or farm where I can house a chicken coop, duck coop, house and keep some goats and sheep I will build coops if there isn't any available.
In these uncertain times there will be a substantial increase in the need for chicks, ducklings, other birds, young goats and sheep. Basically any smaller animals found on a farm. People more than ever are seeking sustainable foods and farm to table foods. People want to know where their food comes from.
Chicken eggs and meat birds. Duck eggs which are prized by bakers among others. Goats meat is popular in certain ethnic groups. Goats milk is really good for cheese and other dairy related items. Also you can make really good soap that is very sensitive for people with delicate skin. Sheep milk is desirable for dairy products much like goats. In addition the fibre from the hair of sheep can be sold.
If you have land and are seeking a reliable and honest person to start a project on that land then lets chat. Look forward to hearing from you.
Looking in the cedar, cranberry road, south wellington road or extension road area.
