Goals, Values, Vision
Since my wife and I started a family we have wanted to start a farm. We have lived in mostly suburban areas, so we could only raise chickens in our area and helped my mom with her goats and flocks. We are looking for a property to start a goat dairy and indoor farmers market. We grow using organic practices, conservation, recycling, up cycling. We want to build a better future for our communities and environment. Thank you for your time and I look forward to working with you.

Farming Plans and Practices
Farming Method
Organic Practices
We plan on using recycled materials to build worm beds to make worm castings and use that for building soils and soil additions for indoor gardening during the winter. We also so plan on growing micro greens the feed for our goat pastures and chickens. We plan to have rain and snow melt catch’s to help with water cost. Solar power where feasible and sustainable waste or closed loop farm. Our main concentration will be the dairy and laying chickens and bringing farmers together in the market.
