All I do at work is daydream about farming.

Personal experience and production goals summary:

I would love the opportunity to work land merging techniques of Joel Salatin, Will Allen and Jean Martin Fortier. Their work has inspired me for years, I have out grown my backyard and am ready for more land, responsibilities and challenges. No pesticides, incesticides, herbicide, fungicides, fertilizer. Compost, vermipost and manure, yes. Raised permanent needs that are never tilled. Nothing speaks more to me then this. I have relatives in Ireland to this day from my mother's side. Their last name is literally, Farmer. I currently live in Georgia but would like to move to NC. Please email or call me with further questions.
