Business Plan and/or future farming vision and goals:

My husband and I are looking to homestead on a minimum of 5 acres and eventually have an income producing farm and music venue space. I am currently a full time remote project manager with a love for honey so I want to learn how to keep bees and eventually sell it. My husband wants to build a self sustainable homestead with vegetables and fruit trees and chickens for eggs and goats for milk. We hope to someday have livestock dogs and the ability to sustain our bills on the farms income. We are willing to learn and excited about the prospect of living off the land in Maine.
