Description of farming experience

I have never worked on a farm commercially or with the intention of marketing produce so would like to explore that angle. I grew up in a homesteading family and have worked on farms off and on throughout my life. I have quite a bit of experience with food gardening, landscape gardening, raising livestock, and processing meat. What I would like to find is a place where I could have a large garden to produce food and raise perennials. I would also like to raise meat chickens and possibly a few pigs to compliment the growing season and eat extra vegetable matter from the garden. Am willing to coordinate with others on other livestock endeavors but that is what I think I could manage on my own.

Farming plans

Tenure arrangement desired

Collaborative model

Tenure arrangement description

Would want to live on premises with a rent or lease arrangement, or work-trade arrangement, or some combination of the above. Regular housing accommodations would be great, but I have had a lot of rough, off-grid living arrangements in the past, could do it again, and I am pretty low maintenance in that regard. Would appreciate consideration of some type of buy-in arrangement in future if I like the area, but that is for down the road and very much not a requirement at this stage.

Farm enterprises description

In addition I would love to eventually have a small farm stand/store and maybe a (very small) nursery for perennials and veg starts in spring. I would also be interested in trying farmers market. But NOT interested in CSA model. Not looking for an ambitious or large set-up... I am 50 and single so would need to keep things manageable. I would like to try marketing what I produce but in reality I have more of a homesteading mentality than a business one. That's where coordinating with others who have more experience with marketing could be a helpful learning experience for me.
