Description and historical use of land available for farming
This property was purchased by the current owners in 2002 and over the years has been rented out to several farmers who have predominately operated mixed vegetable farms on the property; however, past tenants have also raised chickens and pigs on site. Since 2017, there has not been any agricultural production on the site, but fields have been kept mowed and the landholder has assumed responsibility for annual maintenance of the orchard.

Long-term goal or vision for land
The landholder is excited to offer space to an experienced farmer who is looking for a long-term space to operate a financially viable farm business. In the future, this landholder would like to collaborate with a farmer to expand infrastructure on the farm and would like to make housing available to a farmer, once they are able to renovate the house and fix smoke damage.
