- Conservation Plan
- Nutrient Management Plan
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.
One large family home, approximately 9 bedrooms, 6.5 bathrooms, “log cabin” ~7500 sq ft, built 2005.
Currently one outbuilding in the form of a 30 x 35′ pole barn, fair condition, water and electric services can be refurbished. Mostly housing tractor implements at the moment.
1/3-mile driveway.
Open to ideas.
I like piggies…and camels…
Access to electrical grid by telephone poles.
Have a large solar installation that provides an abundance of energy to the house.
Water via two wells.
Water and electricity supply are currently dormant at the pole barn but can be reinstalled/refurbished as needed.
Have a 3D electrified deer fence installed around a 120′ x 40′ garden to get us started.
More extensive fencing can be installed.
Mahindra 2638 HST cab (heat and A/C!) tractor with third function and ~260 hours. It has a front bucket, auger, snow plow, drag harrow, flail mower, rototiller, ag spreader, and subsoiler.
John Deere D110 riding lawnmower.
Looking to get a side-by-side, grapple, and rent a forestry mulcher to clear some land.
The equipment would of course be available for the farming operation.
My property has been farmed over the past 5+ years in both corn and soybeans and I am interested in having a farmer come in with long-term goals in mind with a focus on sustainability. Will consider discussions with farmers looking to crop, raise livestock, and/or produce vegetables.
The farmed area represents 13 acres. The land is in the Sweet Valley area and easily accessible off a main road. The land slopes downhill to a wood line before a steep decline to a creek. Soil types are WIC and OID.
I am looking for a rent or lease agreement. There is a large bank barn and well for water access that I would consider to be included in any agreement.
