Farm Project Description
A little over a year and a half ago, my wife and I set out on a mission to get people eating the best quality food at an affordable price. This is a mission that truly brings us happiness and we hope to do this our whole life.
We are currently on a plot of land, however we are seeking a more stable, medium to long term opportunity where we can invest in soil health and see the benefits.
Current Operation:
-We started in 2023 with a field full of weeds
-In 2024 we planted 2 acres with 25 different vegetables
-Our primary business is vegetable boxes direct to consumer
-We own all the equipment to run the farm (tractor + tiller, greenhouse's, irrigation etc.)
