Farming plans
Tenure arrangement desired
Collaborative model
Tenure arrangement description
We hope to find a farm in need of some helping hands, in exchange for knowledge sharing and possible housing. Our goal is to learn from others operating an existing farm as to gain experience and clearer define our future goals as farmers. We are interested in work-trade opportunities, as well as pursuing some of our own interests, including maple production, market gardening, and raising livestock (for wool production, meat, soil health). We are looking for opportunities in the Northeast Kingdom - near Westmore ideally.

Farm enterprises description
We are still in the early stages of farm planning. We're seeking hands-on experience and mentorship to help us narrow down our goals for a future farm. Hopefully we can figure out how all our interests can fit together into a cohesive farm plan, but right now it's looking like some form of homestead-market garden setup. Our long-term goal is a regenerative farm with livestock (sheep, chickens), gardens (veggies and dye), a small orchard (fruit, nuts, berries), and a sugarbush. It's important to us that we spend time learning from others so that we can implement these plans in a way that is best for our land, community, and local food system.
