Farming status, plans, and practices
I have several vears of hands-on farminc experience gained through my family's farm in the Mediterranean region of Turkey. I worked in poultry production, cared foi ivestock, and helped cultivate medicinal and aromatic plants including thyme, sage rosemary, mint, and various vegetables. I also completed a 226-hour government-certified beekeeping program in Turkey.
I currently live on Long Island, New York, and 1 am looking for opportunities to lease farmland, work on a farm, or build a long-term partnership with a landowner. My goal is to establish a sustainable farm that combines traditional farming practices with modern technology, Al automation, and e-commerce. I value hard work, honesty, animal welfare, and environmental stewardship, and I am committed to being a reliable long-term farming partner. My preference would be areas that are still within a reasonable driving distance of Long Island and New York City, such as Westchester County and the southern part of the Hudson Valley. I would prefer not to move too far from my family, but I am flexible if the property offers a great long-term opportunity and meets my farming goals.
