Farm Project Description
Aside from growing veggies for personal consumption, I would eventually like to have greenhouses to grow citrus, bananas and avocados. If successful, this may be where I would make a business out of it. In the future, if we find enough land to expand, I would like to have yurts and offer workshops for women who are pregnant, to come and learn from me. I am a childbirth educator and support person.
