Land Seeker Description

Hello,

Im Nick,

I have a strong desire to farm my own food and start a plant nursery business. I am seeking land that ideally has living accomodations on site. Would need water for growing nursery plants. I have interest in raising animals and growing vegetables though i plan on starting slow and building up. I work outside doing park maintenance and have grown plants with limited space and need an area where I can really expand. Im guessing 1-3 acreas would fit my needs.

In this venture I would likely be sharing property with the land owners. it should be known I am an excellent tenant. I pay on time, dont hold large parties or make any noise. I am someone who seeks to build a homestead and farming/nursery business and I enjoy gaining new knowledge in those areas. While it may take some time to build up, my farming interests include: goats, chickens, ducks, aquaponics, rabbits, bees, vegetables as well as native and ornamental shrubs and trees….oh, fruit trees too!

If ive contacted you and youre reading this feel free to ask me any questions you may have.

Thank you

Nick


What features of the property are essential?

If I raise livestock they would need shelter, if not currently available would be willing to build with land owners permission. Need water for animals, vegetable garden and nursery plants.
