Goals, Values, Vision

I am seeking to build up a farm and then to buy a large acreage area where I can offer therapy. These include equine therapy, caring for goats and sheep, chickens, rabbits, and planting vegetables. As well as helping to harvest and taking them to market. This will allow people who need to rest and relax such as veterans a space and a place to use these proven therapies.

I attempted to do this with somebody and they are not able to focus and unable to fully understand farming. I need to be able to get a fully functioning farm and then use that for therapy sessions as well.

I was raised in Southern California. My great-grandmother had a very large ranch and my Aunt Jewel had a smaller 67-acre farm I grew up on a farm most of the time. I've been off to college have a few degrees I'm seeking to get back into farming and use it as therapy for myself and clients.
