Farm Name
Farm Project Description
Biodynamic regenerative farm that includes fruits, vegetables and small livestock with potential to grow. To start the main focus would be to sell locally at farm markets, restaurants and have CSA boxes. We strongly believe in growing a sustainable local food supply is necessary to grow the local economy and keep the land healthy.
Currently we have a small garden that we have been growing to sell to consumers, using the techniques we have learned over the years of research.
