I'm 33 and have a wife with 2 kids. I am looking to utilize the land for a personal farm to help teach my children how to live off the earth. I grew up on a family farm raising cattle and tending to a garden. I want to share those experiences with my children and friends and keep the land from developing into more urban area. I am not originally from Michigan and would love to help conserve farmland here locally.
Preferred location: Arenac, Bay, Clare, Clinton, Eaton, Gladwin, Gratiot, Huron, Ingham, Ionia, Isabella, Mecosta, Midland, Montcalm, Osceola, Saginaw, Sanilac, Shiawassee, Tuscola
Desired Transitional Agreement: Farm Seeker/Farm Owner Partnership, Lease to buy, Mentorship, Working arrangement with future partner
