Mentha Bliss Farm Kick starter

Mentha Bliss Farm

Short Summary 

Did you know that mentha is the scientific word for mint?

A little about us

• We are a small family farm start up our main crop will be mint teas with a large garden and orchard, and a few animals,birds for eggs, rabbits, sheep for wool and milk.
• We are raising  money to get started. Funds will go to seed, equipment(mainly used aside from small things), feed, and other expenses that go along with starting a farm business.
• We will be donating extra crops and products mainly to local food banks and soup kitchens.
• small farms are a great source of locally grown food and other products and you know what you are getting as opposed to large corporations
