Farm share or partnership: 5 acres in Cowlitz Co

Description

I recently moved to 5 acres of land up once Castle Rock, Washington (one hour North of Portland).

My land has well established blueberries and an orchard of very well established apples, pears, and cherries. It is mostly sloped, with a few flat areas, and partially wooded (with some clear areas too). There is currently a home on the land that I live in, and there is a well that provides plenty of water to other areas of the land. The land has some great infrastructure already in place, but with work it could become something very special.

I am hoping to partner with farmers that need space for organic vegetables, animals, flowers, herbs, and more. I am interested in permaculture and biodynamic farming, and I’m excited to discuss dreams and options for farmers seeking useable space.
