Goals, Values, Vision

Interested in a regenerative farm, considering livestock and vegetables. Interested down the road in partnering with other farms to increase what we/they  can offer. 

Not a stranger to a farm myself, but no formal experience. My spouse and I want to raise our kid's in the farm life. Time will tell if they share our passion. We are open to different opportunities, arrangements and location options, preference for Southeast MI.
