Rare opportunity to help start a flower and blueberry farm!  Great location- not too rural and not too far from the local towns and larger cities. The farm has some established plans in the works with plenty of opportunity for your own plans and personal touch.  Additional gardening area to be opened up in early 2026 (post-Helene storm cleanup).  Untouched wooded area at the back of the property for exploring, forest gardening, or leaving natural. 
Examples of some things I could use help with on the farm: plant flower tubers, start seeds, build and fill raised beds, mulch and weed beds, collect eggs, feed the animals, maintain irrigation systems, monitor the animal fences for any fallen tree limbs, mow grass with riding mower, harvest flowers and blueberries, stock farm-stand with harvested goods, maintain honey bee colonies, harvest honey, split tubers at the end of the season, prune blueberry bushes as needed, and more. 
There’s plenty of space for additional gardening of your choice. Grow your own vegetables, hot peppers, additional fruits and berries, etc.
