Long-term goal or vision for land

Our long-term vision for this land is a sustainable, community-centered vegetable/fruit area that remains environmentally responsible while being welcoming and accessible to the public. We already operate seasonal farm camps in the spring and summer through our existing equine business on the property, and we see this as a strong foundation to expand educational and community engagement opportunities for both parties. Continuing and growing these camps, along with offering farm tours and gardening programs, selling produce would allow the land to serve as both a productive agricultural space and a place for people to experience where their food comes from.
