Looking For the Following
Desired Locations
Plan
Hello there! My name is Sydney, and I am looking for my forever home and future farm. I am seeking more than 30 acres ideally, only because my dreams reach as far as smalltime cattle ranching.
The final dream for myself is to be self sustained- from a fresh garden, goats milk and meat, chickens, cattle milk and meat, grow and maintain Georgia native wildflowers, bee keeping, and eventually a community backed food pantry. I want abundance, not only for myself and my family, but for my neighbors and my neighbors' neighbors too.
Desired Transitional Agreement
Description of Desired Transitional Agreement
My desired transition would be under a lease basis. While I am open to other options, my goal is to live on the land and build a life for myself and my family.

The end goal for vegetables and various produce is to sell locally made produce, as well as have a community backed food pantry.
the end goal for the livestock is the same, as well as the ability to host the community children for educational events.

Farm Education/Training
Additional Info on Experience/Education
My education lays mostly with animal and livestock care. My childhood was spent largely at a farm during the summers, and my Mema owned many goats and donkeys. I trained dogs for 3 years right out of high school, through agility and obedience. After my time with that, I moved into managing at the local Tractor Supply for 2 years, meeting and conversing with many local farmers. During then, I spent time volunteering at a horse rescue and therapy barn. My time after Tractor Supply really had me yearning for this life, as I have always loved nature and animals. While being a dog groomer for the past 3 years, I studied about goat breeding, processing and ownership, chicken breeding, processing and ownership, gardening and growing various vegetables and fruits as well as companion planting.
Now, I currently own (as far as farm animals go) a goat, roughly 50 month old chicks, a turkey and four ducks, as well as a small flock of six chickens. I have a garden full of beans and peas, garlic, onions, potatoes and so much more!
