Goals, Values, Vision
My vision is to build a diversified, family-supported 60-acre farm focusing on high-value specialty crops (herbs/vegetables) and cold-hardy viticulture. As a woman-owned sole proprietorship, my farm will leverage my professional background in Building Restoration & Masonry to minimize infrastructure costs and maximize equity through self-construction. I will be slowly adding livestock to help with becoming self reliant and sustainable.

Farming Plans and Practices
I grew up helping my Nonnas and Zias tend to their gardens. They had beautiful rose gardens, vegetable gardens, and backyard vineyards. Where I currently reside, I recently started a small rose garden along with a few plants of basil, sage, and parsley. I am looking forward to continuing on my family's traditions but on a larger scale. I will continue growing herbs and vegetables and eventually expand to having livestock such as chickens, goats, donkeys, and more. This will help ensure long term soil health and ecosystem resilience. My background enables me to build at the cost of material with me doing the labor and puts me at an advantage if things need fixing or expanding.
