Other experience/agricultural/business training - Worked in environmental non-profits and have completed growth experiments and soil assessments for farmers on a small scale.
Do you have a business plan?
No - It would depend on the property and what I'm able to grow, the condition of the land, sunlight, weather, etc.
Do you have financial resources available to start your farm?
Yes - I would be able to purchase seeds and other equipment on my own, especially as I prefer a small scale as I am only one person.
Do you have access to other financial resources (such as a financial partner, loan, etc.) to start your farm?'
No

Farm Project Description
Hello, I am a young biologist looking for a small piece of land to park a tiny house so I may work remotely for the non-profit I currently work for, and complete growing experiments/produce some veggies, fruits, or other food to possibly sell at a market on a smaller scale. I have experience with planning and designing experiments to improve soil health, so I am especially interested in properties that seem "difficult" or may not be functional in their current state. I personally love the idea of living rurally and would love an opportunity to pursue my passion of organic farming with other like-minded individuals.
I'd love a farm with animals around as well, and if you already have a farm then I'd also love to assist you with what you currently are working on.
