my parents...own a former dairy farm on 280 acres of land in north western Wisconsin. My father owns a small landscaping business that installs lawns I'm a pretty good interface between the cultures of internet enthusiasts/entrepreneurs...and blue collar entrepreneurs We have a pretty good array of dormant resources on the farm having converted from a dairy farm to a crop farm. I'm interested in working full time onsite or remotely for OSE and should be available in this capacity at the end of October. I studied variously: mathematics, computer science, creative writing, and video production. I graduated with a double major in Math and English with a certificate (ie Minor) in Computer Science. I also grew up on a dairy farm, and I've been involved in my father's small business projects which include: tree transplanting, landscaping (mainly lawn installation), and general contracting (residential home construction). For the last 2 years I've been teaching English in South Korea

I want to share my ten years of research on creating locally produced healthy frozen whole foods I have spent 50 years teaching foods and growing farm crops. I can develop a series of video clips to teach people what I do. I have a 1400 sq. ft. Harvest Processing Kitchen that can develop new products, do nutrition analysis, create video clips etc. I have created a floor plan for a mobile kitchen that would focus on processing vegetables, fruits, grains and dry beans. This goose neck trailer can be built ten miles from me for transport anywhere in the country. Tray freezers are built nearby too.
