Goals, Values, Vision
My goals for the long-term is for my wife and I to have a successful farm that incorporates a worm farm, a green house, apiaries, and highland cows (My wife really likes them), right now we're working on our worm farm & greenhouse stock. We hope to have over 40 different breeds of flowers. We use only organic methods of growing and maintaining what we do have currently and plan on doing so in the future. My wife grew up around farms and had a decently sized garden before she moved (Fruit trees, flowers, and herbs), she has experience in crossbreeding species as well. I grew up on a small family farm which had horses, chickens, goats, and a small parcel of land for a large garden that had a variety of fruits & vegetables growing.

Certified Organic, Organic Practices
Right now we have converted our basement into an in-home greenhouse which is getting smaller by the day, and have converted our front porch into a worm farm (This contains trays with worms inside and a light in the room to keep them from running) It's not very sophisticated at the moment and is quite small, but with our method we leave ability to scale open depending on the space available.
