lexington, NY, Greene County
Acres Available
Open Tillable Acres
Wooded (or other) Acres
Condition & Current Use
Existing flower farm interested in partnering with a farmer/business partner with 5+ years of experience growing specialty cut flowers. What I have to offer: land, infrastructure, beds, tunnels, knowledge and experience of growing on this land and a robust business.
Currently 1/2 in annual and 1/2 in perennial production. Total production acreage approximately 4 acres.
Soil Types
Farm History & Past Use
Flower production for 4 years. Previously (about 25+ years ago and back, there were cows)
Tenure Options
I am just beginning to explore this and am open to discussions and proposals.
I cannot subdivide the land due to an easement so there is no option for sale.
Do you require a farmer who qualifies for agricultural assessment?
Production Preferences
Livestock / Crops Description
I would like for the first year to be focused on the flower business. If, after learning it, you want to add livestock or veggies, that is fine. But year 1 is flowers only, since that is our main business. Once that is under good stewardship, I am open (and encourage) additional ventures.

Rustic housing is at a shared farmhouse down the road. It's not ideal and I hope to find something better.
