I want to operate primarily a dairy farm with interactive educational events for my community. Veggies/other livestock would be nice to have too if I could manage it, but it’s not a priority.
I am looking for a piece of property where I could make my farming dreams a reality and live on the property as well. It would be nice to take over a farm that someone is no longer interested in farming and eventually buy it from them. Since I am young and have been farming, I do not have the capital to buy a piece of land outright.
I am 22 years old and have 3 years of regenerative farming experience. I have worked on a farm on Lopez Island, Washington where I learned about rotational grazing of cattle, market gardening, and commercial compost production. Next, I worked on a farm in Havre de Grace, Maryland where I grew veggies and berries in a 2 acre market garden, rotationally grazed cattle, sheep, and chickens, raised pigs in the woods, and even had my own personal dairy cow and taught myself how to make cheese. Finally, I worked on a market garden in Sellersville, Pennsylvania where I learned a bit more about the business side of operating a farm.
