I am not an experienced farmer but I am interested in starting to learn. I am a suburban gardener with adequate knowledge of growing some fruits/ vegetables and some homesteading experience. I want to purchase land or possibly take on a mentor to learn more about farming and owning a small flock of livestock. I am interested in chickens, flowers, bees, mini cows, herbs, native plants/flowers.

Goals, Values, Vision
I want to eventually own a small hobby farm. I want to have a small flock of livestock including special breeds of chickens, mini cows, and a bee hive. I will grow native flowers, unique crops, a variety of herbs and possibly have a small orchard. I also want to have a commercial kitchen on the farm where I would make baked goods and natural cosmetic products. I would ideally have a venue space included on the farm possibly for weddings or just events for my farming business or other local small businesses to use.
