Type of opportunity:

Lease (1 to 5 Years), Lease with Option to Buy, Employment. More info: Looking to lease a smallish farm with cheap housing. My practices are beyond organic and will improve the tilth of your land. We plan to grow something to remove pesticides/synthetic fertilizer residue first, then amend the fields to prepare for growing biomass for worms/compost, and rotate crops, make organic fertilizer and compost and worm castings and potting soil

Equipment & infrastructure:

Well / Pond / Other water source, Greenhouse. More info: Have successfully farmed off grid, so anything is a plus but not required

Current farming practices:

Biodynamic. More info: Probiorganic biodynatural is my own style borrowing from probiotic farming, organic farming, biodynamic farming, and Korean natural farming(knf). We make our own pesticides from aromatic herbs or essential oils, make fertilizers from dynamic nutrient accumulators that grow in ditches, and make microbial innoculants and lip balm and soap and herbal medicine

Qualifications and goals:

Previous farming experience:

Employee, Manager

Number of years experience:

7

Other qualifications:

More info: 7years of organic farming, off grid, greenhouse, no till, raised beds, water conservation methods, beneficial runoff(zero synthetics, even those permitted by the usda's NOP). And a 3mo the horticulture class from a community college

Production goals:

Personal experience and production goals summary:

I know what I want to do, I have the skill set and knowledge and experience, I am just not financially able to do a lot. I am confident I would be very successful, as I know what I'm doing and I know the market. I have had my fertilizers analyzed by a lab with good results, as well as many satisfied customers My specialty is cannabis and would love to work with someone wanting to grow hemp.
