Description and historical use of land available for farming

Long-term goal or vision for land
We would like someone to take over the farm land and grow their own organic vegetables. In return we would like help with growing potatoes and cabbage for our food business. We only use portion of the farm and there is lots of space to develop a big vegetable garden
There farm has so much potential but we can't do it all.
