Vision for the Farm
I want the farm to be a sustainable agricultural operation for others to learn from. The farmhouse is being renovated for family visits and for a short-term rental. There is an outbuilding on the land that could be converted into a living unit, if there is interest to live on the land. My hope is to attempt to use no till and regenerative farming practices. Currently I will not be living on the farm and need someone to look after the property. This could be a good opportunity for someone wanting to get started in farming.
Past/Current Land Usage
Acreage description
Combination of wooded and tillable land. Not sure on the amount of acres that can be farmed.
Description of the property’s current condition, current use(s), and past use(s)
The land is close to the road and easy to access. It has had many different crops on it through the years - corn, hay, oats, wheat.
Additional Information
I am open to working with the vision of someone who would like to discuss partnering to find a way for the farm to be sustainable. I would like to add fruit trees, herbs, vegetables, bees, maple syrup. I plan to have hiking trails in the woods and have people that come visit feel the peacefulness of the property. My dad's ashes are in the maple grove and he called the grove his park. I want to re-establish it as a wonderful place for his grandchildren to come and visit and remember his legacy. We are planning to add solar to the property to meet the farms electrical needs.
