Land Seeker Description

My wife and I are seeking land to start a small herb/flower farm. We have two grown sons who are interested in helping as well. Our vision is to find land that we can place our tiny homes on (3) to live in while we begin our farming business. I am an elementary teacher, my wife is a caregiver for disabled adults, my oldest is a college student at OSU, my youngest will be a senior in high school next school year. We have rented our whole lives, and would really appreciate the opportunity to start our dream of farming. We have always been interested in permaculture and biodiversity. We would like to farm in a way that is aligned with those practices as well. My wife has experience working on a hemp farm and learned a lot while there. We grow vegetables, herbs, and flowers in every home that we rent. I have studied herbs and the medicinal benefits as a hobby my whole life. We would just love a chance to do this while we can.
