Production Preferences

Livestock / Crops Description

Open on what could reasonably be produced on the land. Prefer crops and small livestock as that is likely what is best suited to land. There are vineyards in the surrounding area as well some sheep/goat and poultry farms. Fair amount of farms in the area so we believe it is pretty ag friendly.
