Landowner #30209
I am a local physician and landowner looking for a hands-on partner to co-develop a diversified regenerative orchard and homestead. The land is ready for thoughtful transformation – suited for tree crops, berries, livestock integration, and small-batch processing. I can provide: – secure long -term land access – help with infrastructure (fencing, irrigation, equipment) – startup capital and marketing support – flexible business structure (profit share, LLC, possible lease to own) You would bring: – experience in orchard or small farm management – time, energy, and practical skills to manage day-to-day operations – desire to build a livelihood rooted in stewardship, soil health, and community. Vision: To build a resilient, diversified farm producing high-quality perennial crops (pear, persimmon, elderberry, chestnut, etc.) and regenerative livestock systems. We’ll grow slowly, focus on soil and habitat health, and create products the community loves. This is an ideal fit for an aspiring or mid-career farmer seeking secure land tenure and partnership rather than employment.

27 tillable acres with approx. 5 acres of woods. Following organic standards since 2002 but not certified. 2.5 acres have been used for mixed vegetable crops in recent years. 2 acres were used for rotating laying hens and broilers. The remaining acreage has been fallow for several years. Farm sale outlets include CSA, farmers markets and specialty wholesale. We have also hosted high-end farm to table dinners. This land has been stewarded by the same family for 100 years and has had small scale dairy, beef cattle and grain production in the past. The current generation is ready to provide a new family the opportunity to establish, grow and create their own history on this well-loved land. Location and surrounding community are exceptional for sales of premium farm products, agritourism, and farm / nature-based education programs.
