Business Plan and/or future farming vision and goals:

Our new farm would house our family (a happy home education family with 6 awesome kids!) plus our Maine coon cats, rabbits, chickens, guinea pigs and also, my retired parents. I have a private practice and would build a teaching space to lead community workshops & classes on herbalism. My hope is to expand my existing program to year round kids classes as well. I have a very successful booth at the Brunswick Winter Market and sell to local health food stores. We would focus on growing elderberry, blueberry and aronia berry- key ingredients for my herbal elderberry syrup that I sell commercially. The ideal property would have a mix of open land to create row gardens of medicinal plants & flowers, an orchard and a large teaching garden as well as, woods to grow wild edibles.
