Farm description

We are a brand new farm seeking enthusiastic farmers who want to help us grow our business from the ground up! We are looking for knowledgeable farmers who share our passion for sustainable agriculture, conservation and community to partner with us as our business begins to blossom. We are not yet farmers ourselves, but we do have plenty of experience raising funds and developing relationships. Our ideal partner would be able to collaborate on a plan for the farm that outlines clear trackable goals and prioritizes dense and diverse vegetation.

Farm opportunity

We know that having a productive farm takes time, and starts with soil health in mind, so ideally this would be a long-term partnership to help steward our land towards productivity and sustainability. If you are a gardener interested in a smaller plot, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We’d like to cultivate small sections of the farm for individual permaculture gardens focused on feeding pollinators and producing food. If this interest aligns with your goals, we have the space for you to work. We have pens, pastures, fields and gardens all available for skilled hands looking for a space to work. Wild grapes, mushrooms, raspberries, wild carrots and even asparagus seem to grow with little help, so imagine what bounty will grow with your stewardship.
