Goals, Values, Vision
I'm almost 30 years old, I have a wife and two kids and I live in Allendale, Ottawa County. I was homeschooled almost my whole schooling life, and I attend Harbor Church in Holland.
My goal someday is to own my own small farm with a plant nursery, farm store, and U-pick operation.
I desperately want to see West Michigan become a hub for clean agriculture, for people to embrace perennial crops as a major food source, and to see people enabled to get local healthy food.

Farming Plans and Practices
While I have never been "certified organic" I believe that those standards should be the absolute bare minimum.
I try to use as little as possible to grow my crops and over time adapt them to be able to handle low inputs.
