I’m just starting out on my journey as a farmer and would love to learn the ins and outs of the agricultural world. My goal is to grow food and plants and raise animals both for meat and companionship. I’ve always had a deep love for all plants and animals, and I put my whole heart into everything I do. I’m also a single mom of two amazing kids who are hardworking and excited to help out. We’re ready to roll up our sleeves and get started, but I know we could really benefit from guidance.

Goals, Values, Vision

I’m beginning my journey in farming and would love to connect with someone who can mentor and guide me along the way. My vision is to build a farm that provides fresh, healthy food to my community while also creating a safe, nurturing space for animals. I hope to raise chickens for eggs and meat, goats and cows for milk, and eventually expand to include vegetables, fruit trees, and flowers. My long-term goal is to grow a sustainable farm that not only supports my family but also helps feed others.

I believe the skills I bring to farming are my determination, willingness to learn, and love for both plants and animals. I’ve gained experience caring for pets and small gardens, and I am eager to expand that knowledge into a working farm. As a single mother of two hardworking children, I also value teamwork and perseverance—qualities I know will be essential as we build this operation together.

More than anything, I want to approach farming with passion, integrity, and care, and I’m looking forward to learning from those who have already walked this path. Thank you for considering my goals and vision—I would be truly grateful for any mentorship or advice you can share.
