Goals, Values, Vision

Our goal is to obtain a larger farm in 3-5 years when I retire from the military, where we can run a herd/flock that can actually generate an income and continue to expand so we can stay on farm. Our goal is to work with nature instead of against her. We are currently MEAEP certified and will continue those practices. 

We practice intensive adaptive rotational grazing on our current farm.
