Highest level of farming experience
Homesteading
Description of farming experience
Working on a very large backyard scale, small market garden scale for several years. Vegetables, herbs, microgreens, cut flowers, sourdough baking. We are value-added focused, growing ingredients for things like pesto, sauces, salad mix, dressings, herbal salts, soups and more. We envision a farm with a store and that welcomes the public for u-pick, festivals, weddings, special events, etc.
Farming plans
Tenure arrangement desired
Farm transfer
Tenure arrangement description
Looking to ultimately own, but we currently own a home that will have to be put on the market and sold before we would be in a position to purchase. Depending on price, financing options, etc., it could take a few years. Open to many different creative options. We have done a lot of research over the last few years looking for the right property, so have a lot of familiarity with the different avenues to farm transfer.
