Farm Project Description
Well where do we start? We would love to start a family farm to begin with. We'd love to live at least 80% off our own land, by preserving and having an all year round food. So that would entail a year round greenhouse and a great root cellar for storing our food. That's such a great learning curve that we are dying to put into action. Last but not least we would love to make it grow to be able to feed the community around us too!!!
