Bridget and Robert

We are a family of 4 with experience, ambition, and a passion for the land. Searching for our forever farm. Mentorship not required, but we always want to learn. Over 10 years farming experience, plus we both grew up on a farm/ranch. We are ready to get our hands dirty-- planting trees and building a DWG, growing food for the community, raising our kids, and making a place for ourselves and those who share the space with us, and who will come after us.

Goals, Values, Vision

Diverse operation. Silvopasture among tree crops. Mushrooms, hoophouse veggies, milk share micro dairy, farm dinners, local producer aggregation of products and resources. Educational events. Would love to elaborate! This will be our family legacy, and we want to entwine with the community to create change and connection for years to come. 

Want to stay on your land? Maybe we can work something out! Perhaps a co-op model, a sale on contract/CFD, put land in a trust, or something else that helps us access land and helps you stay connected to your land for longer. Not needed--we are able to buy smaller properties (under 150k)  outright. Just want to connect and benefit each other, as we very much value community.

Also open to temporary, Helpx or WWOOF like situations to function as a stepping stone.
