Description and historical use of land available for farming
We have nearly 6 acres 20 mins outside of downtown Victoria. We currently grow seedling starts and veggies out of a small greenhouse and a walipini and two other garden areas totaling about 1/5th of an acre. There has been no farming on the property before other than what we do now.

Long-term goal or vision for land
We would like to selectively log the property and are particularly interested in raising pastured pork and chickens, but would be open to goats, sheep, or a dairy cow if possible. The property is mostly treed and rocky so may pose significant challenges if you need it to be flat or sunny all day. Soil will have to be built.
We are building a private cabin on the land for the right person to live in if needed.
