Farm description
Beautiful 14-acre homestead with a large two-storey house and a well-maintained barn. Three acres are wild blueberries, two acres are pasture, and most of the rest is wooded, providing all the firewood necessary to heat the home. We used to have a nice herd of alpacas but, due to a family split, the alpacas are gone. I am rebuilding the alpaca herd and the fibre business that goes with it, as well as working toward zero waste and self-sustainability on food and energy.
Farm opportunity
I would love for some aspiring farmers/homesteaders to come and live with me. We'll share in the household expenses and, if everyone is grooving, it could become a long-term communal living arrangement.
