Farm description
Here is an opportunity to develop and grow your own farm-based business and supplement your income (or reduce costs) by taking on part-time property management role on larger farm. You must be self-directed and highly motivated.. Housing, equipment, mentorship and other resources could be available for the right long term agreement. Access to maple sugar bush, logging and firewood possible. Organic -ready for certification. Nestled in an ancient glacial valley, this pocket of sandy loam supported a farm family from 1870-1970. Pastured since, this plot includes approximately 25 acres of open, cleared land (some fenced), a 10 acre pond with fish, year-round creek, surrounding bush and a collection of garages (2), barn and a square timber log house shell. On a quiet township road with electricity and high speed at the fence, the area has a year round population that swells seasonally with cottagers who actively support the growing presence of local food production through a very successful local farmers' market, store and growing demand for local healthy food choices. With many lakes (the nearest only 1 km away) in this otherwise recreational area it offers the right candidate excellent lifestyle opportunities to live, work and have fun. Toronto is two hours south. A business model based on value-added crops and protein, market gardening, flowers and herbs, syrup production, greenhouses tapping into local geothermal and/or firewood etc. will help diversify farm income.
