Personal experience and production goals summary:
I have helped grow single family gardens and flowers but want to expand and truly become a seasoned farmer. I have never tried to start my own farm and can use all the help offered to me. I would like to create something that can be enjoyed by the community. A beautiful lush land full of lavender and chamomile or a bunch of orchard trees with field veggies and honeybees. I would like to get everything settled in during year one and growing and try to turn a small profit then really get involved with marketing and starting seasonal events and selling large amounts of items year 2 , year 3 etc. I am looking for a long term partnership or lease to buy option.
