Description of farming experience

I've worked as a farm hand on a dairy farm and a Christmas tree farm. I have owned sheep for the last three years, kept bees, and raised chickens. I'm currently a 2L at Vermont Law and Graduate School and defining a focus on Agricultural and Environmental Law. My ultimate dream is to partner on a non-profit farm/community educational center with a mission to strengthen the local food system with an additional emphasis on the arts as a way as connecting the community.

Collaborative model

Tenure arrangement description

Looking for more experienced landowners or farmers who are willing to partner on a trial-basis at first. I'm hoping to find people with broad and specifically different experiences than my own. I think collaborative processes that can find creative compromises will be more sustainable on the long term.
