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

Our dream is to own and run an agri-tourism business that provides unique accommodations and farm related education for our guests. However, we want to start out as a market garden and CSA to serve our community. We don’t see this happening until our son goes into school in a couple years but we want to start looking now.
