The fields are located on west-facing slopes and have year-round sun exposure. Spanning just over 10 acres, with 4 acres available for lease, the land offers plenty of opportunity for a new farmer or someone looking to expand current operations.
There are 2 fenced fields that are approximately 2 acres each. One of the fields has a small livestock shelter and the other field is connected to a larger barn. The fields are currently in grazing rotation with a pair of sheep and goats.

Description and historical use of land available for farming

Road Access
Yes - Access to main roadway and large gates allow for vehicle access to both fields.
Long-term goal or vision for land
We see opportunity in the available fields and do not have the time to expand farming activities ourselves. We would like to see the land continue being used for agriculture and are interested in leasing to a farmer who wants to farm without pesticides or herbicides. This opportunity would best suit a farmer who is personable and doesn't mind the occasional chat over the fence.
