Farming status, plans, and practices

Moon Wolf Farm is located between Manlius and Cazenovia , my farm stand is located in downtown Syracuse. I have been working inside the industry for many years and have a great opportunity to offer my farming methods and farm products to the community. I currently supply hemp farms with starts and seeds from my nursery. I am looking to expand this year in order to offer a greater variety and increase production of more seed. I graft and sell apple trees, make vinegar, and would like to expand into or be involved in honey production. Please reach out with any question!  I would to help anyone with organic farming.

Farmland Needs

Infrastructure required

Housing is not required. I have 10 acres of land and a residential property that I am currently using. I want to expand nearby that property so I do not have to relocate from home. Looking for land that has a barn or other storage option. Shared use of equipment (like a tractor) would also be ideal. Looking for 5+ acres with room to expand. 

Desired Tenure

Tenure options desired

  • For Lease
  • Business Partnership
  • Other Tenure Agreement

I'm interested in discussing options and am ready to start. Looking for 5+ acres with room to expand. Ideally seeking a long term lease. 

Will this operation qualify an eligible landowner for an Agricultural Assessment?

Yes
