General farming (3 years or less) - Managed a small farm with poultry and a few crops for 2years in Africa, and as recently as 3 years ago started backyard gardening.
Do you have a business plan?
Yes - I am interested in starting an organic IMTA & permaculture system on a farm with poultry and a few farm animals as the farm grows. I do intend to start small.
Do you have financial resources available to start your farm?
Yes - Savings
Do you have access to other financial resources (such as a financial partner, loan, etc.) to start your farm?'
Yes - I’m open to exploring opportunities with investors or grants to help accelerate this project, but I’m also comfortable moving forward independently if that’s how it plays out.

Farm Name
Na'anyen Farms
Farm Project Description
I'm seeking land to start an organically sustainable farm blending heritage poultry, aquaculture, crops, bees, and vermiponics. Supported by friends and family, this venture promotes permaculture and biodiversity, building a self-sufficient ecosystem with diverse chicken breeds and guinea fowl. As I’m still learning and researching, I’d welcome mentorship to grow this farm as this project honors my late father’s legacy of preserving heritage, resilience and community, I'd love to see it succeed.

Ideally, the soil should be fertile loam, or amendable, for crops and poultry pasture, ex-farmed or fallow, light clearing okay, not heavily wooded. There should be a water source for IMTA and irrigation. Land can be rough but ready—space to experiment, mentorship is welcome.
