This property hosts 20 fruit trees, raspberry canes, blackberries and strawberries. There are 6-8 acres of pasture available out of a total of 13 acres, nearly half is forested. The landholder would ideally like help maintaining the grass and pasture, including some fencing, maintaining buildings, renewing the gardens and creating new ones. This opportunity is suitable for someone who would like to keep a horse, sheep or cows, or chickens. There is an opportunity for a farmer to create an income for themselves from the land but should have some savings to get started or an alternative income source. Currently interested party would have to have their own tiny house, mobile home or RV (26-36' with an independent roof would be ideal). A matching of personality (compatibility) is also important: integrity, good communication, respect, willingness to work together, versatile, goal driven, and good work ethic.
