Farming full-time for income
Updated Apr 16, 2026
Desired locations
Edible perennial plant nursery seeks long term land arrangement on 1-10 acres.
Plan
Organic, edible, native trees, shrubs, and flowers distributed through a farm stand, nursery pick up, local delivery, and land care clients in addition to ecological garden design, installation and maintenance services.
Expand the nursery to include a demonstration garden of plants that we sell so buyers can see the plants at their final size, shape and how they interact with each other and surrounding environment.
2-10 acres would be ideal, a mix of open full sun growing areas and woodland.
Desired infrastructure
Equipment and infrastructure details
Water source, well, pond, creek. Housing available or can be added with relative ease. Greenhouse and fencing would be ideal but not necessary.
Preferred type of opportunity
Opportunity details
Long term lease with option to buy or sale. Outright sale. Open to land sharing with folks with similar goals, values and vision.
Desired farming practices
Practices details
Holistic, beyond organic, regenerative agricultural practices. Permaculture and biodynamic leaning. No sprays, no herbicides or pesticides. Working with the existing ecosystem, supporting its health and longevity while producing healthy nursery stock.
Minimal inputs, using mainly local and on site resources.
Production goals
Goals details
Our long term goals include an inspirational demonstration garden using our plants that customers can visit and see a creative well designed example of the plants actively growing and interacting. As the farm and nursery develops, it becomes self-sustaining, moving towards a balanced, holistic ecosystem with very little to no inputs. Seeds and cuttings can be collected from our own plants and propagated. Soil from spent mushroom compost can be used for plant starts. Woodchips from selected trees can be used as mulch for the gardens and fuel and so on.
