Farm Name
Sheep, chickens and produce
Farm Project Description
I have been raising chickens for egg production for my family for the past 5 years. I have also been growing more produce than can be consumed by my family in my home garden. I would like to expand this passion and hobby into a larger project, by increasing the number of chickens I raise, including branching into other species of poultry such as ducks or geese. I currently practice herding with my Australian shepherd as a sport, and would like to seriously move into raising sheep for wool. I am looking for land available to pursue these passion projects, and I open to considering various land access arrangements.
