For lease: 1-5 acres in Lane County.

Description

Hello!  I have a beautiful 7 acre property and am hoping to find some fantastic people to farm it!  This fully deer fenced and gated property includes great southern exposure, fruit trees, water rights, nice out buildings with a 20 x 22 barn, chicken mansion, 2 small greenhouses, garden shed, pump house, dog runs and more! Organic soils are premium and ripe for planting! There is a seasonal pond and a strong well.  Currently, there is a large field of lavender, a fair about of field space that is already in rows with great soil, and a large pasture.  I love farms and farming, but have another job and do not intend to manage the majority of these acres.  I do use the property as a place to hold events, host people, and bring in community.  I am open to lots of ideas of how to use the land: bees, vegetables, goats, chickens, lavender, and so forth.

Housing may be available, depending on the situation. My house could house another person/couple if it was a good fit. Otherwise, a yurt or trailer on the property is definitely a possibility.

I’m excited for what this project can yield!

Owner’s Short Term Vision for the Property

To open up the land to farmers who I align with.

Owner’s Long Term Vision for the Property

I want the farm to be a very community oriented place that is in full food production. A large portion of the land will be reserved for events and housing, but the rest should be maximized in a diversified farm.

Current Use

A large section is devoted to lavender (over 500 bushes). There is about an acre of vegetable/flower gardens. There is a fruit tree orchard with about 22 trees.

Available Water / Irrigation

There is a water right and a well. The well runs at 30 gallons/min

Soil Type / Quality

The main vegetable/flower growing area is Pengra Silt Loam. The area with the lavender and good potential for dry farming is McAlpine Silty Clay Loam.

Buildings and Structures Available for Farm Use

1 small and 1 medium green house. One garden shed. Covered storage. One barn. A large chicken coop.

Farm Equipment Available for Use, Sale or Lease

Some wire, wood, irrigation lines, hoses, plant pots, riding mower, various tools.

Any Restrictions That Could Limit Agricultural Production

none that I am aware of.

What are you doing as a landholder to ensure a safe and welcoming environment for everyone on your land and in your community?

I strive to have clear and direct communication from the start! I am open to all kinds of people and am constantly learning and growing as a person about how to navigate this world and the amazingly diverse array of folkx in it. Social justice, environmental justice, and a commitment to equity, diversity, and inclusion are all very important to me.
