Goals, Values, Vision
Hi! I am from Indiana and have recently accepted a position with the Hiawatha National Forest. I am a third generation farm girl. Seven years ago, my husband and I got married and moved off my family farm. Since then, we have raised chickens, rabbits and had a heck of a small production garden on less than 1/4 an acre. I sheer sheep for friends and spin wool for fun.
Now I am heading north and have big dreams! I would love two full-production hoop houses - one for crops and one for houseplant propagation. I also need a space to teach fiber arts (knitting, crochet, weaving, etc.) and would love a space for a sheep herd.
Land does not need to be perfect. I love a good project farm. I'm looking in the UP.

Farming Plans and Practices
I love the idea of permaculture, but dang it is hard. So I am running a small organic lot when I can.
