Goals, Values, Vision

Looking for some land where I can plant a Willow Farm. Some of the product I would want to use for myself, some of the product to be sold as raw materials to crafters and some to be turned into baskets to be sold at craft shows. I’ve got a few varieties of willow in mind for crafts and landscaping.
