Farmer Information:
My ideal set-up would allow for multi-species grazing, a couple high tunnels for starting and selling transplants, and a building that would be conducive to boarding dogs for immediate cash flow as I network the area.
I have multiple years of animal husbandry experience and did a 9 month intensive vegetable production program. While I have some experience, I’m open to a mentorship arrangement to help network in the area.
CSA, farmers markets and retail are all potential outlets, likely in that order. I have experience writing business plans for this endeavor that continues to evolve. Ultimately it will be dictated by location and set-up. On-site housing is necessary/ideal.
Agricultural Degrees / Certifications:
