https://orionfarmstead.com/We are looking to start an immersive farm stay that allows guests to experience agriculture in an intimate, hands-on setting, strengthening their connection to land stewardship and the origins of their food.
Elaborate on the farming practices you plan on using.
We are committed to producing 100% chemical free, nutrient dense food utilizing a whole system, biomimicry approach that increases soil health and regenerates natural resources.
