Land Seeker Description

Hello, my name is Trevor and I recently moved to Oregon so I can continue my work with the USDA as a soil conservationist. My small garden was successful last year, my favorite plant that I grew was cantaloupe. Last year was my first year selling at a farmers market. Mainly, I sold honey from my bees, I also was able to sell some vegetables and baked goods. I am most interested in finding a location for honeybee colonies but I would also like somewhere I could raise livestock. I truly enjoy agriculture and my interests have led me to pursuing college degrees in agriculture, business, and conservation. I have raised cattle, goats, sheep, poultry, and honeybees.


What features of the property are essential?

Small barn for beekeeping supplies. Water is a plus and would be necessary for raising livestock.


Describe your farming experience

I have raised cattle, goats, sheep, poultry, and honeybees. I am most interested in finding a location for honeybee colonies but I would also like somewhere I could raise livestock. I have grown a garden, worked on hay operations, and I have worked in a pecan orchard.


Are you currently farming?

No

What are your short term goals for the land

I would like somewhere that I could raise honeybees in 2025. Depending on the type of property, I would also be interested in raising livestock and having a small garden.


What are your long term goals

I would eventually like to have enough honeybee colonies that I could lease them to farmers that need assistance pollinating crops.


Describe your housing needs

I am currently renting a home. Onsite housing would be nice, but definitely not a requirement.


What will you do as a farmer to ensure a safe and welcoming environment for everyone on your farm and in your community?

I truly enjoy being around people and helping in anyway I can.
