Vision for the Farm
The objective is to establish long-term, mutually beneficial land-lease partnerships with high-yield specialty agricultural operators. Ideal partners include market gardeners, floriculturists, mycology operations, or beverage industry suppliers (e.g., hops, heritage orchards). The property is currently seeking a conservation easement, ensuring it remains dedicated strictly to agricultural use in perpetuity.
Past/Current Land Usage
Acreage description
Approximately 28 tillable acres located in Augusta Township, Washtenaw County. The vast majority of the property is clear, open, untiled farm field. A small percentage of the acreage consists of a mature woodlot and creek. The property features established road frontage with direct access to municipal water and sewer utilities on Willis Road.
Description of the property’s current condition, current use(s), and past use(s)
The land was most recently leased season-to-season for traditional commodity row crops (corn and soybeans). The soil is untiled. Because it lacks drainage tiling, it is optimally suited for operations that do not rely on heavy industrial machinery or perfect field drainage. It is highly viable for raised bed farming, high-tunnel and hoop house operations, perennial orchards, or log-grown mycology in the shaded wooded section.
Additional Information
The property’s location provides immediate, high-value logistical access to the Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti retail corridors and farmers markets. Tenants will have the ability to construct necessary operational infrastructure, including commercial-scale greenhouses, high tunnels, pole barns, or equestrian facilities, subject to the lease agreement.

Transition Agreement
Lease
Seeking to establish long-term agricultural leases (5 to 10+ years). Long-term agreements are strongly preferred to allow tenants the security to confidently invest in physical infrastructure, soil health, and perennial crops. I am open to leasing the entire field to a single well-capitalized operator, or subdividing the lease into smaller footprints for multiple specialized operations (such as CSAs or cut-flower farms). Lease rates are negotiable based on the required acreage footprint and municipal utility access needs.
