Farm Project Description
We would like to grow vegetables such as garlic, bell peppers, beets, carrots, potatoes, lettuce. We would also have chickens for the eggs and non-laying chickens for the meat. Some livestock like cows for the meat. My spouse Don is interested in trying aquaponics and microgreens. This will be a mixed farming. We dont mind setting up green houses to be able to grow year round.
We re looking for a space we can lease long term so we can focus on the farming.
