Made with Divine Love is my heart, I own and operate a organic farm and homestead in Oxford Michigan. We specialize in designing and building portable Aquaponics Towers utilizin 3' Printed parts and can be used by the beginner and pro gardener. The great thing is you grow all year long and 1 small tower provides 75% of a household of 4 produce products and 1 small tower is capable of providing 10% of that family of 4s protein as well, in means of fish, shrimp or crayfish. The homestead is used as a teaching model and way for troubled teens to find a new path and a career focus and entrapunureal opportunities. We utiliz a large variety of the Earths and Suns bounty. Solar energy, Geo-thermal energy, water collection, Beekeeping, pottery, Holistic medicines, organic fruit, vegetables and proteins provided to local restaurants and a bi-weekly or monthly subscription box from our farm to your family....we offer photoshoots, Field-trips and learning classes to show the youth the power of knowledge and sustainability. Seeing where your food comes from makes a huge impact and we offer love, family, community and regaining our independence and generational wealth. I have designed and built running prototypes crafting essential parts with a 3'D Printer, this allows us to build growing towers cheaply and the availability opens up to all income brackets. Most companies dont offer Aquaponics in vertical grow system. I do which makes it fully organic with no chemicals at all. Our organic fruits and vegetables, along with handmade all natural beauty and bath Products, Handmade Gifts and mindfulness/wellness and science/discovery boxes available by weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly subscriptions sent from our organic farm and homestead. Field-trips and learning classes will also be available to purchase and attend teaching and demonstrating Greenhouse Growing and maintance, Aquaponics and holistic medicines, Beekeeping. Meditation and treatment at all ages and stages of life. This will lead into the creation and building of Community Growing and learning centers, that provide organic/holistic growing systems, back to earth learning utilizing Solar, Geo-thermal and water energy platforms. Each season will harness its natural gifts and provide monetary growth and financial abundance as well as providing charitable services and community service hours, volunteer services and paid positions. Utilizing each natural resource and the expertise of farmers, beekeepers, electricians, scientists and teachers. Providing income and jobs to each level of society and instilling values and growth in young minds helping them create a new path without criminal activity. My story isn’t a new story but a story told by many, I grew up in poverty and I endured every form of abuse known to man. I’ve seen the effects of what drugs, jealousy, neglect and abandonment can have on family and on family dynamics. My company is one focused on Balance. When I say Balance I mean complete energetic understanding, understanding our own personal energy and the energy of those around us and the affect we have on the environment we live in. Can you envision a girl, a small child with 3 young siblings but no parents in sight, as your siblings cry in hunger pains and fear, your mind races and our instincts tell us either to fight, freeze or flight. I chose to fight and gave myself entirely to helping my family. Now flash forward that same girl now a young woman working 2 jobs and putting herself through college. Then tragedy strikes her father dies unexpectedly leaving 4 young children alone and in precarious situation, mother addicted to crack always in the streets, the same environment I endured and survived, I seen myself in these children, my half-siblings especially the oldest of the four. What will be expected of him? How will they survive? What will be done to them? These were the questions running through my mind. So I decided to raise the children. Their birth mother abandoned them for drugs a reality I was all to familiar with. I knew what would happen to them. So I took custody and struggled to raise 4 children and help them heal and thrive. I didn’t understand how much work and responsibility I was taking on only being 20. I taught myself how to grow food from scraps, propagating and growing or planting store bought seeds, building solar panels out of recycled pop cans and scrap yard fixtures. Building Aquaponics and Aeroponic systems for better nutrient-rich fruits and vegetables able to grow indoors. Making more food available all year and teaching myself and the children how to harness the energy the earth and universe provides to us. My company basis was produced from my personal experiences, being hungry and not having food, definitely no fresh food or the needed nutrients. Experiencing this as a child then struggling to afford those same nutrients to provide to my family that I love. My mission is to provide the community with gardens, growing systems and classes teaching the skills to be self sufficient. On the charitable end I would like to provide the community with a Fresh pantry, allowing families that volunteer time and energy to learning one of the skills taught and receiving fresh fruits and vegetables monthly. Allowing families struggling with nutritional malnourishment and learning the skills necessary to supplement their own financial independence. The business side of the community growing and learning center will host field trips and science projects, seasonal activities and family fun, connection with each other and nature each season will focus on family traditions and love. The winter season we will utilize the break of growing fruits/ vegetables and have re-planting Christmas trees for sale, along with handmade wreaths, ice skate rental, horse drawn carriage rides, visiting Santa and creating a ornament course and gift take-home for all children, crafts and products being sold in the gift shop area, Homemade hot chocolate and fresh snacks advertising the farms Harvests. Moving into the Spring season the community growing and learning center will be in full motion tending the animals, chickens, sheep’s and goat, and variety of water life, tilapia, perch, shrimp and crayfish. The water life will create a self-sustaining ecosystem allowing us to grow in all four seasons for income and learning courses. There will be One 20×28×12 greenhouse built solely growing greens and producing a great learning environment for all ages. During the spring learning courses will be in high attendance teaching the process of nature’s revitalization of matter. Harnessing the Sun’s energy via solar panels and the Earth’s energy via geo- thermal energy, if viable after 5 years of business may look to add a small learning wind turbine and water power Harnessing, creating a artificial waterfall and stream. As we move into the Summer season we will be harvesting from the greenhouse and the land, certain fruits trees and berries, Honey and wax from the beehives, beekeeping courses available, floral and picturesque scenery for photoshoots, school, wedding, graduation and any other relevant life events, this is a year-round revenue stream. We will harvest and propagate, create compost and worms, package seeds, dry herbs for holistic remedies and offering 25% of the harvested fruits and vegetables to the charity/pantry and food services. The end of summer will lend tasks and learning courses in canning and dehydration techniques to prolong their families food resources. As well as learning courses on getting a farm and independent green property ready for the fall and winter months when light and heat sources reduce. Fall has great potential for profit in regards to family activities such as pick your own pumpkin patch, apple picking, cider and donut sales, Haunted hayride, haunted barn and haunted orchard will create huge revenue and advertising. Pumpkin painting and carving contest, learning courses on understanding earth energies and how all energy only mutates and transforms itself. As a coaching and spiritual element and service I would like to offer meditation training and yoga or family activity meditation; these activities allow us time together to connect and communicate, teaching respect and responsibility, balance and harmony. Supporting local youth homes and families affected by incarcerated parents, financial instability and showing groups in these categories the importance of reflection and the compassionate treatment of others and of our environment, like once said “Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach him how to fish and you feed him for a lifetime” is a quote from the Chinese philosopher Lao Tzu, founder of Taoism.Sep 12, 2010. I know from experience the difference a place like this would have made for my family as a child and during every stage of life . Allowing youth offenders a positive outlet and learning curve, along with charitable actions and allowing them to find a passion that can create income and in turn reduce them committing crime or criminal behaviors. I know personally that most turn to crime in the energy of desperation and fear. Government resources only available for a select few and wage bracket. A overextended financial burden on the government, that we as individuals can lighten the load so as a community we allow the earth and humanity to be replenished and nurtured, the caretakers of creation. When energy is only ever exposed to negative vibrations and lack we can not expect a different outcome or a radically different personality beyond the family influence of the moldable precious soul, there are people who surpass their family programming and societal programming but many get trapped in the pattern, the habit of a certain lifestyle. Our children and ourselves have the room and potential for sustained change and healing. The great scientist Masaru Emoto and his experiments on the molecular changes of water exposed to different vibrations, words, sounds, and human emotions, shows us how patterns and habits are formed over time with repetitive energies and experiences. The water exposed to hate, doubt, lack and fear became blobs without form or beauty. The water exposed to love, compassion, positivity and abundance formed beautiful intricate snowflakes and crystal formations. As humans are made with 60% water what do you think happens to our matter exposed to repetitive energy signatures? Our bodies retain the patterns of continued molding and forming either in the positive or negative. Knowing how energy is transformed by vibration informs us that all life is interconnected and can be changed by more positive compassionate actions and safe spaces. Investing and backing a project that opens it doors to communities and people of all societal levels. Choices are made with intention and deliberation of SELFs survival and individual family care first, if we provide a environment to grow new generations of confident, compassionate, knowledge seeking youth and alter the exposer of the negative environmental energies and vibrations we can then help produce a future of positive, balanced growth, expansion, financial security, survival essentials and safety. I know we can grow in business and in charity. I always told the children think of people like seeds, all seeds are planted and plunged into darkness, all at different depths and time frames needed in darkness to sprout. But the seeds need the darkness to sprout and seek the light to reach and expand toward its own growth and development, without darkness we can’t appreciate the light, so as the seed mutates and changes in the dark soil it reaches towards the warmth and loving life giving light of the sun, eventually breaking through the soils surface and growing/evolving into the great and beautiful creations they were designed to become. Once in the light the now seedling plant or tree or human needs guidance and direction, pruning and nurture, if we simply leave it untended we do not produce the vibrant, juicy and nutrious fruit it was meant to provide. We all have a purpose same as the seeds, let’s nurture the seeds of love and embrace the differences in each other, uplifting and nurturing the good traits and pruning the unfavorable traits. My company promotes growth, love, self-sufficiency, knowledge and compassion. Please help me create this vision and spread these community growing and learning centers throughout the United States, re-gaining our families’ independence.
