Opportunity details
Great opportunity for someone interested in medicinal herbs or forest farming. The owner would like to sell the property outright, but is willing to “hold the mortgage”, with a reasonable but sizable down payment. The owner, Robert Eidus, is willing to “mentor” the new owner(s) to maintain the international medicinal reputation that Eagle Feather Organic farm has for providing the highest quality herbal products and plants.
