Looking for the following:
Type of opportunity:
Sale (Standard), Lease with Option to Buy.
More info: I plan to purchase the property without a bank loan if that makes a difference. My preference is for a straight purchase but am open to alternative options if the seller is looking to ease his or her way off of the property (e.g. temporary lease back to seller, agreement for seller to remain on the property for a period of time, etc.).
Equipment & infrastructure:
More info: Preference for a well or other water source on the property but is not required. Any other equipment or infrastructure is ok but not necessary for purchase.
Current production on farm:
More info: Past use is not a precursor to my purchase, although it might be free from hazardous contamination.
Current farming practices:
More info: Preference is for land that is already ecological in some capacity but that is not a prerequisite.
Qualifications and goals:
Previous farming experience:
Volunteer
Number of years experience:
2
Production goals:
Herbs, Orchard, Vegetable production.
More info: This is meant in the near-term as more of a conservation effort coupled with helping beginning farmers with access to land. I will personally not intend to actively farm the land for another 10-20 years.
