I am seeking a home with land to farm. I have over 28 seasons of experience. I have worked in greenhouses and on many vegetable farms. I have helped to mange produce businesses. I have managed my own produce business in the context of having good relations with the landowners. Experience implies a lot of things I've found. It may help a resume look good, but means nothing without experiencing good human relations. I really am seeking this primarily.

Goals, Values, Vision
I have come to value minimal/ no till. I would like to be able to focus on saving seeds and would be open to this as at least part of a business, but to me food security directly equates to seed security. One business idea I keep returning to is a farmstand. Set at the right location this could provide a good outlet for a lot of produce. It could also be run a co-operative and include other area producers.
