Organic

Please elaborate on the type(s) of agricultural operation you plan on running.

My wife and I are expecting our first child and have been looking for a property to purchase that will allow us to raise a family and start a small farm. I am not looking to quit my current occupations but rather use my knowledge and skill start a small farm that will help feed ourselves, family and the community. Would consider anything within my experience (vegetable production, orchard, small animal ect...)

If you are interested in another type of business arrangement, please explain

Not interested in many other types of arrangements other than to buy at this time.
