Trying to find land to start a co-op hemp/fruit farm ,the goal is to produce hemp seed oils for bio fuel studies and health/beauty care products and fruits for baking and preserves. I have a small group of people willing to walk away from the city life and all we need is a place to restart our lives. Any acreage ,any condition ,any price (seeing as we’re all broke)… Figure it’s worth a shot to ask.. Better hoping on here than quietly praying on nothing
Preferred location: Genesee, Hillsdale, Jackson, Lapeer, Lenawee, Livingston, Macomb, Monroe, Oakland, St. Clair, Washtenaw, Wayne
Desired Transitional Agreement: Farm Seeker/Farm Owner Partnership, Lease, Lease to buy, Mentorship, Working arrangement with future partner

Desired Land Usage
Goals, Values, Vision
The end goal is to start a self sufficient co-op with greenhouse plots and year round crops hemp seed oil and its byproducts(spun fibers ,woven sacks.etc)would be one half of production the other would be berry fruits like blackberries,raspberries,strawberries, used to make baked goods and preserves like spreads and jams..
The real reason is to establish a fresh future for 6-7 families struggling in the city and to build a prosperous future to pass down to the next generation.
