Farm History & Past Use
The farm was originally a dairy from the 1790s; the original farmhouse is still here and owned by a neighbor. Since the 80's it has been mostly just hay.
Tenure Options
Open to discussion. We prefer cooperative or alternative models. The land is also home to three families and several other small scale farming operations -- so nothing too large-scale or disruptive but we're welcoming of new ideas and people.

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.
