Farm Project Description
A rambling acreage with
walkable flower and herb garden,
a veg/fruit/floral greenhouse,
In-ground vegetable patch (fenced),
2 Poultry coups (free range for layers),
fenced wooded area for raising pigs (+shelter & wallow area),
Field designated for livestock feed (kale)
Rotating compost heap
In ground water irrigation system to support the summer growing season ( we can construct)
A winter garden
Possibly a donkey for predator deterrent (already have a big dog as well)
Prioritize hogs and layers for stable income
We would love to cultivate a relationship with local indigenous people to share knowledge, culture, foraging, and harvest.
Eventually we would like to have an industrial kitchen/hall to rent/host events.
The walkable (fairy) garden would become a rentable space (for children's birthdays and garden parties.)
