Land Seeker Description

We are Marcus and Emma Roberts. We dream of farming together as a family with our three kiddos! We currently have a tea and tincture business that we’ve loved to expand into growing the herbs for those products. As well as grow pasture raise meats. We love the idea of no-till farming and pasture raise animals that better the soil instead of depleted it!

Describe your farming experience

We’ve raised meat chickens and butchered them ourselves. We’ve grown vegetables and herbs on a small scale in our back yard.

Raise pasture raise hogs and chickens to sell at farmers markets.

Host classes on herbal remedies, cooking, butchering, etc.
A place to gather people looking for locally grown nourishing food and herbal remedies!


Describe your housing needs
