Looking for a farm

I have embraced urban gardening, but always dream of having a few acres of land, raise a few chickens, a pig or two, Spring lamb sounds good. Alright, maybe I'm hungry for dinner, but really, that is the point. To raise these animals, know what kind of food they've eaten, what kind of life they've had, and have the very best meat for dinner. I'm so tired of hearing about meat pumped full of something, whether it's ammonia gas to "clean" the meat, or growth hormones. I have been feeding my daughter organic, local or free range since she's been eating meat; around 18 months. Side note, I got so much flack from my side of the family for not feeding her meat right away. I started her with a diet of ONLY organic, all vegan till about a year old, them I added fish, then chicken, then cheese(very reluctantly) them meat(reluctantly). I also breast fed her to 18 months. I took and still do take being a mother very seriously. I am ultimately responsible for her growth, health, education, and her safety. That to me means I am very much on the hook for feeding her food that will provide her with nutrients and sustenance.
