Farm Project Description
Growing food and people organically with the help of the land; starting with what is there, continue growing (food, experience, people) and keep going in harmony and beauty.
This model has always worked for me on a small scale. I am ready, with the help of committed people in my network, to change that scale.
Gardening and involving people with disabilities in projects and community building (in the garden). Preserving workshops and collectives. Sales.
Adding xeriscaping fruit trees and bushes that can sustain climate changes and people. I have started a small collection of these, I have done extensive research on the subject, and need a place to establish these diverse food providint plants, trees, bushes I already have.
Cultivating a diversity of medicinal plants (water, regular soil, and xeriscaping). Workshops. Preservation, Sales.
Cultivating specific areas for food adequate to the land: legumes, grains...
Bed and Breakfast, cafe, sales of specific produces.
