I’m looking to start a small self sufficient farm. Provide food for my family and maybe sell some produce/beef on the side, just enough to cover costs. For me it’s about living off the land and providing for my family

Recently retired computer geek, looking for a place where I can practice and experiment with Permaculture and Sustainability principles. Since no one in my family wants to leave the suburbs, then as soon as I find something (or even before that!) I will be looking become part of the other side of the database, and find someone(s) looking to take over when I’m gone.
Would happily join with folks who are into permaculture, sustainability, resilience, homesteading, prepping, alternative spiritual traditions, and general geekiness.
Would also like to teach/mentor “free and open software” (FOSS) principles and skills (Unix/Linux) and help compatible folks to use with all of the above. So also looking for high speed internet availability.

My husband and I are beginner farmers currently enrolled in the Beginner Farmer Training Program at Rutgers University. Currently we own a small farmette in Burlington County, New Jersey where we raise small stature dairy animals including registered Nigerian Dwarf goats and Miniature Cattle (Jersey’s and Belted Galloway-Dexter crosses). We also have pastured poultry and sell eggs to local customers. Recently, we have started a market garden where we grow vegetables intensively in a small space. I am a bread baker and will be applying for a cottage food permit in order to sell my bread along with the produce that we grow next season. Off of the farm, I work part-time as a pediatric nurse practitioner and my husband is a full-time machine operator for the local gas company. Growing up, my uncle had a beef operation in Potter County, Pennsylvania. Though he no longer actively farms, he still resides on the land and is our mentor. We are looking to purchase a larger farm property so that we can expand our current operation which would include beef and possibly a micro dairy in the future!
