We have a residential garden (approx 75ft2), and outbuilding that could be a chicken coop, as well as logged area that could have fruit/nut trees. Excellent sun exposure, water now good due to new well

Long-term goal or vision for land
THE DEAL: we're looking to rent the land, perhaps with payback for work done or food products (veg/eggs) for 3 YEARS, until we build and move. Simply put, I see you as getting a home and sandbox for learning about living off the land, we'd hope for some income/food.
