Looking For the Following
Desired Locations
Plan
Our goal is to expand Foundation Honey Co., a veteran-founded nonprofit, by creating a sustainable apiary and herb and flower farm that serves as both an educational site and a working agricultural hub. The farm will promote pollinator health, herbal education, and floral production to support wellness and food security in underserved areas.
We envision a thriving ecosystem where bees, herbs, and flowers grow together, demonstrating regenerative agriculture in action. Our plans include installing hives for honey production and veteran training, growing medicinal and culinary herbs such as lavender, chamomile, and mint, cultivating pollinator-friendly flowers for florists and markets, and hosting workshops for veterans, youth, and families on beekeeping, herbalism, and sustainable farming.
We are seeking 5 or more acres of land with reliable water access, space for bee pastures, herb gardens, and a teaching greenhouse. Ideally, the property would allow for gradual infrastructure development and community engagement

Additional Information on Produce or Livestock Needs
Our production integrates honeybee colonies with herb and flower cultivation, creating a regenerative cycle that enhances pollination, soil vitality, and biodiversity. Herbs and flowers will support culinary, medicinal, and educational products, while honey and wax will be used for value-added goods such as teas, salves, and candles.

Equipment and Infrastructure Details
