This 10-acre property has many microclimates throughout the land, and can be suitable for a variety of farming opportunities. In addition to a few acres of cleared pastures, there are plenty of wooded areas that could be used for silvopasture, agroforestry, or wildcrafting. Open to crops and/or animals, but water conservation needs to be a top priority on this land, using environmentally friendly farming practices in general. The ideal farmer(s) would be experienced and handy, and they are encouraged to bring accommodation (RV, tiny home) to live on the land.

Description and historical use of land available for farming
Historically, the property was part of a larger farm, and used mainly for grazing horses and cattle. There are many different micro-ecosystems and microclimates throughout the property in different sections. Water supply can be a challenge on this land, and would require farming practices with water conservation in mind. There is an old grow-op building with a 2,000-sqft concrete bunker, that could be renovated for another use. The farmer is encouraged to bring their own accommodation (RV, tiny home) to live on the land.
