We've got a few hay fields that could be used for AMP grazing. We can expand fencing to create larger market garden areas. There are two wells, plans for a pond, natural swimming hole.
We’re looking for a farming family to join us at Cottonwood Rose Farm — a vibrant 46-acre property in Black Creek, nestled between forest, fields, and community.

What We (COULD) Offer Housing: A fully set-up tiny home on the farm, suitable for year-round living. Land Base: Fields, forest edge, and pasture available for cultivation, rotational grazing, food forests, and perennial plantings. Community: A dynamic land-based learning program with local families, children, and educators onsite. Shared infrastructure and energy for collaborative projects.
