Farm description
The Promistery is a family own and run no-till, organically grown farm. With the 65 acre parcel in the family for years, it was only in 2020 when they decided to put their dreams into practice. Starting off with a small vegetable market garden, 0.25 acres under cultivation, the Promistery is wanting to slowly transition into an ecotourist location that will a market garden, livestock, a farm store, hiking and a restaurant.
Farm opportunity
With a limited experience in growing and raising livestock, the Promistery is looking for someone with years of experience to help their dream come true. The main thing we are looking for is livestock experience. We want to have grass fed lamb, forest pigs, and broiler chickens. A small amount of cattle for our own meat as well. Whether it is experience in organic growing practices, soil regeneration, raising livestock, mushroom cultivation, cut flowers, or any other practical experiences are welcome.
