Jeffrey Stimson

Hello! My name is Jeff Stimson and I am looking to start a small, no-or-low till market garden/farm near Traverse City. I have several years of gardening experience and some work experience with a local organic farm, but am really excited to start from scratch! My hope is to intensively grow vegetables and fruit for local markets and restaurants, eventually earning an organic certification. Doing so will allow me to escape the corporate world and provide great food for my family and community!

Preferred location: Antrim, Charlevoix, Grand Traverse, Kalkaska, Leelanau

Desired Transitional Agreement: Farm Seeker/Farm Owner Partnership, Lease, Lease to buy, Sale, Mentorship
