Funds to start an organic farm

Donation protected
Hello my name is Cameron Johnson, me and my family have a goal of buying 3 to 5 acres around the outskirts of Prattville  Alabama and turning it into an organic permaculture farm, this would allow us to provide truly local fresh eggs and produce to our community, it would also allow us to be open for tours that would educate people on nature and water conservation. this is a long term project that would take between 7 to 10 years. The farm when complete would be home to up to a hundred or more edible fruits and plant varieties. I have been gardening and researching organic and permaculture farming most of my adult life. My backyard is getting a little crowded, now we just need the support of people like you to help make it a reality. current plans call for $25,000 for land, $750 for solar powered portable electric fence to rotate chickens and pigs around the farm and the rest will be going to dirt works, water and electricity. Most if not all plants and trees from our backyard will be moved to the land. If I can complete this fundraiser I have family that are willing to contribute to get us the rest of the way. I currently own five chickens that produce enough eggs for our family and two others on our street this could be greatly expanded if this fundraiser proves fruitful not to mention the produce that could be brought to market.  We plan on planting apple trees, peach trees, plum trees, pomogranate trees and probably a couple of more exotic trees. We will also grow blackberries, strawberries and blueberries. We will have all the great garden vegetables including tomatoes,  pepper,  eggplant, collard greens, swiss chard, okra and various herbs. And if we are able to find the right land we will also plan on having fishing by the pound. Some of the benefits of a organic hollistically designed permanent agriculture farm are  (1) No pesticedes or synthetic fertilzers  (2) This type of farming actually improves the land unlike conventional farming  (3)This type of farming conserves water  (4)It also helps support the biodiversity of the insect population which helps keep infestations of harmful insects to a minimum  (5)Less waist since all organic waist materials gets put back into the system and all systems are built to be as efficient as possible.
