Goals, Values, Vision

I have a small organic farm that I grow grains, hay, and livestock on and would like to be able to grow the farm. I would like to build soil health and have clean water and healthy food for our community. I would like the opportunity to partner with another landowner to help steward their farm and grow healthy and clean organic food that can be a long-lasting relationship to benefit both myself and the landowner.
