Farm Project Description
Hello and good day to you!
Thank you for taking the time to read this!
My name is Michael Kossowski, goes by Mike, and I'm in my mid 30s now. I live with my fiance in beautiful Chilliwack BC. We also have her now retired parents also residing with us.
My goal for my future is to run/manage and eventually own land in which I can raise beef and other small farm animals to sell to my local food consumers and buyers.
My goal is to find anything around 20+ acres to start farming on. I have farming experience in excess of 6 to 8 years with the last 15 years being mainly construction where I have learned every trade imaginable.
Thank you for taking the time to read a little about me and my goals. Any questions or comments or learning tips to pass on will be greatly appreciated in my future goals.
