Desired Locations
We are a hands-on duo—mechanic/welder + grower—ready to steward land, grow food, and support community.
Goals, Values, Vision
Our vision is to create a sustainable farm that blends practical skills with botanical innovation. We plan to establish year-round growing space for vanilla vines and medicinal herbs for distillation and extraction, while also cultivating sweetgrass for planter starts and braided smudge bundles. Chickens may be added to support soil health and food diversity. With strong mechanical skills to maintain infrastructure and a shared passion for land stewardship, we aim to restore soil, care for water, and grow unique crops that nourish both community and connection. We aim to use sustainable greenhouse systems such as climate-battery technology and compost heat recovery to extend our growing seas

Production Practices
Additional Details
Our farm will follow organic-minded, regenerative practices focused on soil health, biodiversity, and water conservation. We will use cover crops, compost, natural amendments, and chickens for fertility and pest management. For specialty crops like vanilla and medicinal herbs, we will incorporate controlled-environment greenhouses using climate-battery and compost heat recovery systems to extend the season while minimizing energy and water use. Over time, we plan to pursue certified organic status as part of our long-term sustainability goals.
