Hi Vermont Land Link world! We're Sam and Tori, both born and bred Vermonters who, after many years of living out of state and out of country, have returned and are looking for a small farm to call ours. We hope to grow and sell organic seed garlic and heirloom tomatoes, and experiment with grapes, berries, and fruit trees for fermented beverages. We've both apprenticed on organic farms over the years - Tori in the Flathead Valley of Montana and Sam across the lake in Essex County. We're most interested in buying a property or piece of land that's ready to be handed down to a new generation of farmers, but would be open to discussing other arrangements as well. We look forward to connecting with you! Thanks.
