Here is a summary of the vision for my farming future and/or business plan:

Currently working on one with the small business development association in New York. Would like to grow natural dye plants, to sell as plants, as seed and as dried matter. I would also use these plants to dye my own textiles that would be for sale. Would love to continue to blend my interests of art and agriculture.
