We borrow land from future generations. I became caretaker of these 80 acres, previously hay, beef cattle grazing, woods and wetland, when my in-laws passed away. I want to leave the land better than I found it, so am seeking a like minded person/persons with commitment, but no land base of their own to caretake this land and grow your dream. I want to help new farmers get started and gain experience without having the land investment. Prefer organic farming methods used. http://usebccinstead.info/FARM/
