Condition & Current Use
There is a 2-acre field that has been cleared and surrounded by a deer fence. It has been used in past seasons for various vegetables using organic practices.
We don't have a farmer for the upcoming season and are interested in leasing the land (or potentially hiring a farmer). There is also a greenhouse that will be used by the owners to produce lettuce and herbs for groups coming to the property. Space inside the greenhouse would likely be available for use. There are two tractors and a walk-behind that would be available for use as well.
The property is owned by a nonprofit called Reconsider that is focused on creating community and connections to help solve mental health and other societal issues.
