Goals, Values, Vision

I am really looking for a small place where I can raise my own clean food of both animal and vegetable types. We want to be open to raising a variety of animals. If the opportunity arose, we have even considered providing a small amount of saleable items. My farm experience is from childhood. Wife's is more recent, but both of us have some.
