Please describe your past and/or present farming experience
Young community orientated farmer with already established successful fruit and vegetable operation looking to expand. Currently farming on 3 different rental proprieties between 3 different towns in Rutland County. Looking for a farm to establish and stay long term at. I have already established local wholesale, retail, and CSA markets. I have also already established larger regional wholesale markets. Tell A Tale Farm is an established brand with a loyal customer base, but the logistics of running a farm out of 3 different locations is becoming to much. I would like to stay in Rutland County or within a 50 minute drive to downtown Rutland.
