Additional information

We are a couple in our late 20s looking to settle down and find a place where we can be deeply invested in the land and community. Extremely determined and hardworking New England natives with knowledge and care for ecosystem balance. If you have land you care deeply for, we would love to be its stewards. We are easy to work with, and enjoy collaboration and community!
