Goals, Values, Vision

My wife and I are looking to start a family and a life together closer to nature. Homesteading and farming has been on our hearts for a very long time and we feel that it is time to dive in.  We want to use the regenerative farm techniques and business models of Joel Salatin and others to raise food that is healthy and good for the soil so that we can be good stewards of Gods creations.
