Current practices
    State of the surface of the cultivable area

    The property is currently undeveloped. It was logged approximately 25 years ago, and has been largely left to recover naturally. The cultivable areas consist of a mix of open grassy and/or brushy clearings and naturally regenerating deciduous and coniferous trees. No soil testing has been completed, and much of the land remains in its natural state, offering flexibility for future assessment, site planning, and development according to the needs of the project.

    Description and historical use of land available for farming

    The cultivable area is gently sloped toward the south-southwest, providing good sun exposure throughout the growing season. A variety of naturally occurring berry species, including saskatoon, raspberry, thimbleberry, and currant, are already established in the open areas. A small creek runs along the southern edge of the property. The agricultural and general history of this land is unknown. Access to this area is via existing dirt roads in good condition, approximately 1 km from a publicly maintained road.

    Long-term goal or vision for land

    My long-term vision for this land is to see it become a thriving, regenerative permaculture homestead. At this stage of my life I do not have the time, resources, or expertise to develop it myself. I would love to partner with someone who has the knowledge, energy, and commitment to bring that potential to life. I imagine a diversified homestead with orchards, berries, native and traditional vegetable gardens, medicinal and pollinator plants, and thoughtfully integrated livestock such as chickens, goats, and pigs. Ideally, the land would be managed as an interconnected system where animals contribute to soil fertility and land management, gardens help feed the animals, and the overall design works with the natural landscape and seasons. More than maximizing production, my hope is to see the property cared for as a resilient, living ecosystem: a place that grows food, builds biodiversity, and demonstrates practical, long-term stewardship. I am looking for someone who shares these values and is excited by the opportunity to create something meaningful over many years, helping the land reach its full potential in a way that I am currently unable to pursue myself.
