Farm Name
Farm Project Description
I am open to discussion with the land owners (if they would like to be involved) on what avenue the land takes.
I would love to make a seed business. I strongly believe in the importance of seed sovereignty and have a high interest in developing seed genetics that improve year after year with conscious selection for specific traits.
I would love to work with animals if the land would allow for it.
I would potentially be open to a market garden set up (depending on location).
I would be open to growing foods for sale (individual or to suppliers).
etc.
