I am a beginning farmer seeking access to farmland in Michigan to develop my agricultural skills and create a self-sustaining operation for my family. My goal is to build a small, diversified farm focused on sustainable practices that provide healthy food for our household while improving soil health and contributing positively to the local community. I am open to lease-to-own arrangements, incubator programs, and partnerships with land trusts or retiring farmers.

Goals, Values, Vision
My vision is to acquire at least two acres of land to establish a consistent, self-sustaining homestead for my family. During the first year of ownership, I plan to focus on developing foundational skills in small-scale agriculture and animal husbandry—beginning with chicken ownership—to build practical experience and create a diversified, resilient food system. This homestead will serve as both a learning ground and a long-term model of sustainable living.
