Goals, Values, Vision

I want to start a regenerative farm. First, I will need to establish a diversity of plants to feed the microbes. Then, I should get some broilers to generate some cash flow and distribute nitrogen all over. After that comes the layers. With the next step being pastures pigs or hair sheep. While that progression of livestock is being unfurled upon the land, I wish to grow fruit and nut trees as a way to diversify the environment and income stream. However, I’m willing to consider other options.
