Farm Project Description
My husband and I are looking for long term lease options to start our agritourism farm business.
We are looking for an opportunity that allows us to have a greenhouse/hoophouse, a structure for mushroom growing, a small parking area and free road/driveway access, ability to have a few goats and chickens, possibly bees.
The opportunity to live onsite in our tiny home and to dig a septic hole over an outhouse would be a huge asset to us.
If you think there is a possibility that you might have a place to meet our needs please feel free to message and we can arrange a time to discuss further over the phone or in person.
Best,
Amelia MacArthur and Diego Michel
