Hi there! My partner Red and I are aspiring farmers with a shared dream of creating a small, sustainable farm built on community, care, and respect for the land. We’re hoping to find a mentor who’s willing to share their knowledge and allow us to learn through hands-on experience. Our goal is to one day build a space that brings people together, encourages younger generations to get their hands in the soil, and reminds everyone of the joy that comes from growing and nurturing life.

Goals, Values, Vision
For Red and me, the dream of farming grew out of a shared love for simple, honest living and the peace that comes from working with the earth. We both find so much meaning in being outside — in the quiet moments of tending to plants, watching things grow, and seeing how much life the land gives back when it’s cared for. What started as a small idea — a garden, a few plants, a wish for more connection — has turned into a deeper calling to create a small, sustainable farm that reflects who we are and what we value most: community, care, and respect for the land.
Our vision is to build something that feels alive and welcoming — a place where people can gather, learn, and reconnect with the simple joy of growing food. We hope to start with vegetables, herbs, and flowers, and over time, create a space that supports not only us but others too.
We’re both eager learners who believe in showing up, working hard, and treating every moment on the farm as a chance to grow — not just as farmers, but as people. We know there’s so much to learn, and that’s why finding a mentor means so much to us. We’re looking for someone willing to share their wisdom, their land, and a little piece of their journey so we can begin ours with heart and humility.
Our hope is that one day, our farm becomes a space that brings people together — a place where younger generations can dig their hands in the soil, breathe a little deeper, and feel that same sense of peace and purpose that farming will ultimately give us.
