Plan
I am looking to start a small-scale, sustainable farming business in Northeast Georgia, preferably within 25 miles of Atlanta.
My initial plan is to raise free-range laying hens for fresh egg production and a small number of goats, preferably Nigerian Dwarf goats. I would like to use organic feed and environmentally responsible farming practices, with the long-term goal of producing and selling locally raised farm products.
I am a beginning farmer looking for an affordable opportunity to lease, share, or eventually purchase approximately 1–3 acres of agricultural land. Ideally, the property would have access to water, fencing, and electricity.
I currently work remotely, which would allow me some flexibility to manage daily farm operations. I intend to begin on a small scale, gain practical farming experience, and gradually expand into a sustainable, income-generating agricultural business.
I am particularly interested in low-cost land leases, land-sharing partnerships, lease-to-own opportunities, and programs that support beginning farmers.

Additional Info on Experience/Education
I am an aspiring first-generation farmer with a strong interest in sustainable agriculture, small-scale livestock management, and local food production.
Although my professional background is in Information Technology and business operations, I bring valuable experience in planning, problem-solving, resource management, and developing sustainable business practices. I also hold a Master's degree in Management Information Systems and Project Management.
My goal is to establish a small agricultural operation focused initially on raising free-range laying hens for egg production and a limited number of goats. I am particularly interested in learning organic farming methods, responsible animal care, pasture management, and sustainable agricultural practices.
I am actively seeking opportunities to gain hands-on farming experience through mentorship, agricultural training, and partnerships with experienced farmers.
I intend to begin farming part-time while maintaining my current employment, with the long-term objective of developing a financially sustainable agricultural business that provides fresh, locally produced food to the community.
I am committed to learning, starting responsibly, and gradually expanding my operation as I gain practical experience.
