Past and present farming experience:

I was raised Mennonite noon a dairy farm in a farming community. I have experience on farms that run the agricultural gambit. I have worked on dairy farms all over the USA, a beef ranch in NM, a small pig farm in Florida, aquaponics and hydroponics in PA, watermelons in SC, tobacco in GA, exotic greenhouses in Florida, guinea pig farm in Ohio, marijuana in Maine, Illinois and new Mexico, mushrooms in PA, frog farming in TN, insects for human consumption in NY and VT, forest farm in NY, pecans in Alabama, goats everywhere. My goal was to get a wide range of experience before settling down to start my own farm operation. I believe heavily in restorative farming and I want to implement those practices on whatever farm I run. I have seen a farms eco system change in 2 seasons and it was amazing.

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

With restorative farming we start first with what is on the land and work towards a variety of produce.
Can I encourage wild blueberries and elders to grow more? What wood is decaying? what trees are alive? What mushrooms want this environment?
Undoubtedly I would likely add things like quail that take little space and care, have no to low risk of invasion, but rake in good money. Native honey bees are at risk but provide excellent honey and profit. Mushrooms are always on my list as they bring in a nice profit with little work. A self contained environment in a
My main mission is to work with the land that supports my family and make sure it can remain a part of our local food system for generations to come.
