Farm Project Description
Starting from young, I've always been passionate about growing stuff from vegetables to raising farm animals. Coquitlam, where I live doesn't allow residents to raise chickens and the backyard garden I have is too small to more variety of vegetables and nut trees/fruit trees.
I'm planning to grow a variety of vegetables, fruit and nut trees. Also, raising goats, chickens and ducks if possible have been on my priority list. I wanted to be self reliant and produce my own organic food.
