Tenure Arrangement

Collaborative model

Tenure arrangement details

We are providing the land and covering all the overhead / startup costs. Farmer would bring their own labor and expertise. In past years we participate in providing food resources for community programs and we are open to that being the focus. We also have wholesale resources to purchase products. Also open to farmer controlling sales. We are open to splitting revenues or accepting fully processed food as payment. Arrangement is negotiable

Additional Information

Seeking a passionate and skilled farmer to partner with us in expanding our garden program. We are committed to fostering a welcoming and inclusive environment for all and strongly encourage individuals of all backgrounds to apply. Our current available labor is overwhelmed with our primary maple syrup and livestock initiatives. We can't keep up with the garden and orchard. We would love for someone else to take this on. It's a great opportunity for someone who wants to dive in and build on existing resources. On site camping might be possible, but no proper housing available. We do have an employee bathroom with shower.
