Project
Farm Name
Farm Project Description
I have 3 horses, 2 of them are a team that I can work with.
I would like to start a market garden in a permaculture design, in the future I would also like to have a orchard.
With the horses I can also do selective horse logging or fire mitigation. I would also love to do sleigh rides in the winter and wagon rides in the summer. The team could also be use to work the fields and garden areas. I would like to have animals in the near future, animals like cow, goats and sheeps, chickens, ducks for meat production but also to use for farming. I want to have bees too. Honestly I would love to create a place where there would be abundance of everything.
