Description of farming experience

We are a small, diversified farm growing certified organic veggies and pasture-raised rabbit for local direct sales and wholesale. Both owners have worked on multiple farms and we've been operating RHF for 4 years now. We own a small property in Westford but we grow most crops and pasture rabbits on neighbors' lands. We would love to scale up and be less dependent on the kindness of neighbors, so we're looking to purchase land in our town of Westford.
