Goals, Values, Vision
I envision a farm that gives back to nature through organic farming practices growing vegetables and mushrooms. I have three years of experience with urban gardening providing fruit and vegetables to a church community meal that served 75-100 people each week.
I grew up on a 25-acre farm for the first twelve years of life and I desire to return to the farm life. I would prefer to have a mentor to teach me the practice of commercial farming.
