Goals, Values, Vision

I would love to have a small farm to turn into a food forest and practice organic growing practices. I would also enjoy having some chickens or goats but would need mentorship on livestock care. I have done research in that area but have no personal experience. Having the farm be a learning environment and a benefit to the community is also very important.
