Soil Types
Farm History & Past Use
I am not aware of any previous farming on this property. The previous owner had some livestock (maybe 30+ years ago), perhaps for his own use. The current owner has a small sugarbush. Current property use is residential with some edibles grown by the owner.
Tenure Options
This is negotiable for the right situation. Ideally, the farmer would have separate living arrangements. An ideal partner would be mainly involved with forest farming / agriforestry for maple syrup, black cap morels, shitakes, highbush cranberry, brambles, blueberries, nuts, etc.
Price for Lease Per Acre
Are you willing to mentor a new or beginning farmer?
