Property features
Feature details
There is a barn. There are 3 rooms plus a bathroom and a utility room in the barn. The property does not yet have a well, but I will likely have one put in. Generally speaking... as the landlord, I would be responsible for making certain agreed-upon capital/permanent improvements to the farm (e.g. well, permanent fencing), while the farmer would be responsible for more temporary expenses (e.g. temporary fencing, animal feed, hay, minerals, etc). Note: There is an unfinished cabin on the property, but it will be reserved for landlord use.
Current production on farm
Production details
The land has not been farmed before but much of the acreage has been cleared. Some of the land has been seeded with fescue.
Opportunity
Lease
Opportunity details
I'm looking for a farmer/ family to farm/manage the land for an initial 2-4 year lease period. After the initial lease period, a longer term (5+ years) lease would follow if both parties are agreable. I'm looking for a farmer who practices permaculture and regenerative agricultural practices.
Additional Details
Additional information about this property
I would like the farmer to use practices (e.g regenerative, permaculture, no-till, no/minimal-chemicals) that build the soil and land. Beyond that, I plan for the farmer to have much autonomy re: the farming operations and his business.
