Seeking land in Whatcom County
Description:
I am a 30 year old new farmer looking for land. I have interests in organic fruit and vegetables, aquaponics, cattle, pigs, and sheep. I would love to someday have a cut flower business as well as a general farm stand. I would like to find a way to bring high quality and healthy products from my farm to disadvantaged families who do not have access to these types of foods.
Who I am and What I'm looking for:
Ideally I would like to live on the land I am farming, but I could commute from my rented home for now. Land open for livestock and food production.
Farming Experience:
I have been a backyard gardener for a few years now. I currently raise chickens, quails, and ducks. I have done the wwoofing program where you stay at farms as a work exchange for learning. I have done extensive internet research about farming and animal husbandry.
Crops preferred to work with:
