Goals, Values, Vision

I would love a regenerative system where the land and soil are healthy and can provide the most healthy food possible. I picture rotating sheep/cows, chickens, crops and resting soil. I'm also interested in greenhouse operations designed to maximize space and the health of the plant. 

Right now I'm in education mode, but I hope to one day own my own farm so I can feed my family and community. I would love to partner up with an experienced farmer who is willing to teach me the ropes. 

Skills- I am a hard worker. I learn by doing. I am great at creating systems and problem solving.

Organic Practices

I would like to keep things as close to nature as possible. I want to use practices that preserve and strengthen the soil in order to produce the strongest plants possible. A mix of farm animals, vegetables, and fruits. I am also interested in greenhouse farming to provide healthy food year round.
