Do you have a business plan? Please write an informative description of your vision & goals for your farming future.

Yes. We want to move the farm to a permanent land base in Windham County, where we have established our business. Ideally we would stay in Guilford, we love our town and community but are open to moving for the right situation. We are looking for 3 acres minimum of flat ground for growing vegetables but are open to larger properties. Our basic business goals are to grow our CSA, establish more sustainable wholesale clients, and build/grow our farmstand operation. E-mail me if you would like to see the business plan in full.
