Farming status, plans, and practices
Heather's Healing Homestead is an established small homestead currently caring for a variety of farm and companion animals. I am seeking a farm property, portion of a farm, or suitable acreage where I can safely relocate my animals and continue their care. My immediate priority is securing appropriate land and shelter for them; housing for myself is not required. I am open to rental, lease, shared-farm arrangements, or other creative temporary or transitional arrangements.
The Homestead is centered around compassionate animal care, sanctuary, and creating peaceful opportunities for connection with animals and

Water access
My primary needs are safe acreage with appropriate fencing or the ability to install fencing, access to water and electricity, and usable barns, sheds, shelters, or other outbuildings for animals and feed/equipment storage. Pasture or grazing space is preferred. A residence is not necessary. I am flexible and willing to work with existing infrastructure and make reasonable improvements where appropriate.
Desired Tenure
Looking for a short-term, temporary barn or entire farm property rental in or near Onondaga County for an immediate relocation. I have a small, well-managed hobby farm consisting of a mule, a donkey, 3 goats, 5 potbelly pigs, a small flock of poultry (hens, roosters, geese, turkeys, ducks), plus my household dogs and cats.
I am looking for a private arrangement where I can rent an empty outbuilding, barn setup, or pasture space to manage and care for my animals daily myself.
Excellent references available, and happy to structure a flexible budget or lease proposal.
