The “farmable” area – consists of about 20 acres of fenced pasture, the land is gently sloping, perfect for livestock production. Most of the property is forested and in conservation easement (which does allow limited timber and firewood harvesting). Buildings and infrastructure include: a large spring-fed pool, the tractor shed (20′ x 30′ timber frame), the 1-2 bedroom farmhouse, my 86 year old mother’s home, a large converted barn that serves as a summer rental, the workshop (another 20′ x 30′ timber frame that is insulated and heated), the 7 stall working barn, and the equipment shed (20′ x 50′ timber frame lean-to) – which is not included in the conservation easement. This farm has been in our family since the early 1900s. My grandfather became a “gentleman” farmer after retiring and raised chickens and turkeys. That infrastructure is long gone and the “farming” we’ve done since then has consisted of large gardens, small scale maple syrup, and nearly 50 years of small scale beef production (3-4 head a year). The future of the farm is unclear. My mother would like to stay there as long as she can and is quite capable of handling a lot of the property maintenance on her own. I live out of state and typically spend about a week each month on the property helping with maintenance and the inevitable “special projects” that pop up…e.g. dealing with the aftermath of the Emerald Ash Borer or replacing the barbed wire fence with hi-tensile electric. We’d like to find a farmer or farmers – maybe a couple with one working off-farm until their farm plan has time to mature – to come pursue their dream and, in the process, help us maintain and improve the property. Leasing to own isn’t out of the question, but not something we can guarantee at this point. The farmers could take over the small beef cattle operation, raise other small livestock, produce eggs, add high tunnels/green houses (likely with our financial support), bring in school groups or ecotourists, raise native plants, expand the maple syrup operation, raise honey bees, sell firewood, selectively harvest and sell rough cut lumber…it seems to us there are all sorts of things the farm could support.

My wife’s family ran this farm as a small hobby farm. They took hay off the fields and maintained two horses, a cow, and a flock of ~40 sheep. We sought to care for the property in a similar way, but due to an injury we’re no longer able to achieve the things we’d like to here. We’re hoping to find someone interested in living in the house and utilizing the land. The farm is 157+/- acres with approximately 25 acres of hay fields that could be suitable for crop production, another 55 acres that is suitable for pasture, and 80 acres of woods. There is an old stone farmhouse on the property that we lived in for the last 4 years, but it certainly needs work. There is electricity and a good well. There is adequate cell phone reception at the house, and we used cell service for internet access at the property, as this is the most reliable option. It’s a remote and beautiful place.
