Most of the easily accessible acreage is Manlius silt loam and Hudson & Vergennes. Some of it is prime soil. There's a fair amount of clay.

Additional Property Information

No restrictions on specific crop or animals.  We lean towards permaculture and regenerative agriculture, and an operation that will integrate into an existing community with kids, dogs, etc. The land is also home to three families so nothing too disruptive.  No large-scale poultry or pigs due to smell, other animals welcome.
