Desired infrastructure
Equipment and infrastructure details
We are seeking a property with farmer housing. The more infrastructure the better. We will need a tractor for tillage, water access for drip and overhead irrigation, and cold storage for crops and cut flowers. A barn is a plus for equipment storage. High Tunnels and Cat Tunnels will also be utilized. Our business plan has a more detailed list of equipment and infrastructure needs. Prepared to secure micro loan from USDA for any needed equipment and infrastructure.
Preferred type of opportunity
Opportunity details
We are ideally looking for ownership but are open to partnering with the right party. Our main goal is to live on and steward land and see our vision through.
Desired farming practices

Market Vegetables, Fresh Cut Flowers, Dried Flowers. Our vision includes agrotourism (U Pick Flower events, and Workshops), Direct to Consumer Sales via onsite Farmstand, and potential small CSA. We have a fully prepared business plan that we are happy to share when it makes sense.
