State of the surface of the cultivable area
Mostly pasture/forest and sparsely treed with lots of undergrowth. Currently is range for horses.
There is a large area (< 1 acre) that is fenced and with some soil building could be made into a garden. Split rail cedar fencing, page wire around that section to keep the deer out. There is a well and stanchion nearby.
We have windows and materials for building a greenhouse, but it has not been set up at this point.
There is horse manure available for composting.
