Farm Description: 75 acre pasture system with a 20 head cow/calf operation. I currently direct market approximately 20 head of 100% grass fed beef each year to local customers in quarters/halves as well as through a grab-and-go store method. I partner with other local farmers to provide chicken, turkey, pork and lamb to my customers.

I have 8 acres in silvopasture, 60 acres in permanent pasture, 5 acres in streamside riparian buffers and would like to continue to expand the agroforestry aspects of the farm. I am the sole proprietor and primary laborer in this aspect of the farm.

Partnership/Leasing Opportunities: I feel that the farm is currently under-utilized and am interested in finding partner farmers who would be interested in running their own businesses on the farm through a leasing program. I am not interested in hiring people or trying to diversify on my own but am excited to have other people have ideas for ways to build relationship with the land.

I already have a market base established, so discussions of market-sharing is something I am very interested in. I would love to stop duplicating everyone’s work and start working together to build a more sustainable framework for farming over time. I am open to discussions with farmers that need access to land and are interested in raising meat chickens, pigs, lambs, flower farming, agroforestry and honey which all seem like good fits for my farm. However, I am open to listening to ideas outside of these areas.
