Have a fascinating wine grape garden and have been breeding grapes for over 15 years, but sense the vulnerability of having no extended family or group to work with, and I cannot afford to buy good farmland in the area, with Industry having inflated the market value beyond any farm crop potential. Would love to connect with like minded people in the Pacific Northwest and pursue my passion to grow crops and work the land. Am growing tired of seeing the Tobbacco Industry buy up our farm land and create corporate vineyards, with the blessings of our legislature in Olympia.
