For Lease or Partnership: Pasture and Startup Farm Infrastructure in Astoria (97103)

Description

The farm is a 12‑acre site with approximately 5 acres of usable pasture, with the remaining acreage in mixed terrain suitable for future silvopasture, greenhouse development, or infrastructure expansion. The property is well‑suited for regenerative livestock production, rotational grazing, or a livestock‑crop integrated system. Water access is available for establishing a duck pond or wetland feature.

I currently steward the land using regenerative and Indigenous‑informed principles, with a focus on soil health, low‑impact grazing, and long‑term ecological resilience. A small herd of KuneKune pigs is already established on site; they are true grazing pigs and integrate well into rotational systems. I raise pigs for USDA‑inspected pork processed through a federally inspected facility, making the meat eligible for wholesale, retail, and restaurant sales. I am open to discussing how KuneKunes could fit into your operation, or how your preferred breeds could be incorporated alongside them.

Infrastructure on site includes a portable bandsaw mill and metal siding suitable for constructing shelters, storage, or rotational structures as needed. A 28hp tractor with loader is also available to support daily operations such as moving materials, maintaining paddocks, and general farm work. These tools can be incorporated into a lease, partnership, or production agreement depending on the arrangement.

I am a disabled veteran actively pursuing VA‑backed support and FSA financing as I build out this farm. I am also completing my bachelor’s degree in Horticulture through Oregon State University. My goal is to create a stable, long‑term agricultural operation producing high‑quality pastured pork and managing 4–6 greenhouses as part of an integrated livestock‑and‑horticulture system. I also have plans to develop 4–6 tiny home sites on the property as part of a long‑term housing and revenue strategy. These sites are intended to support on‑farm labor, partners, or future residents while creating a stable, diversified income stream.

I’m looking for a reliable partner, caretaker, or farm manager who can help support day‑to‑day operations as the farm continues to develop. This is a startup‑phase project with real momentum, and I’m seeking someone who wants to build alongside me in a steady, regenerative way.

Ideal partners include producers working with ducks, heritage hogs, or mixed livestock systems, as well as growers interested in rotational pasture management, silvopasture development, or integrating grain or forage crops behind livestock.

Open to lease, lease plus revenue share, or a structured production contract depending on the fit. I am looking for someone aligned with regenerative practices, animal welfare, and long‑term land stewardship.

Owner’s Short Term Vision for the Property

In the short term, my focus is on continuing to build out essential farm infrastructure and establishing reliable, regenerative production systems. I am actively developing the 5 acres of pasture through rotational grazing with KuneKune pigs, improving fencing, and constructing shelters using on‑site materials. I am also preparing the property for future greenhouse installation and beginning the groundwork for 4–6 tiny home sites to support on‑farm labor and long‑term partners.
My immediate goal is to bring on a reliable partner, caretaker, or farm manager who can help with day‑to‑day operations while I complete my bachelor’s degree in Horticulture at Oregon State University. Together, I want to stabilize the current systems, expand livestock capacity, and begin early‑stage horticulture and nursery production. The short‑term focus is on building momentum, improving the land, and setting up the foundation for a long‑term, diversified agricultural operation


Owner’s Long Term Vision for the Property

Your long‑term vision for the property
My long‑term vision is to build a stable, regenerative agricultural operation that integrates livestock, horticulture, and on‑farm housing. I am developing a 12‑acre site with 5 acres of pasture into a diversified farm producing high‑quality USDA‑inspected pastured pork and managing 4–6 greenhouses for year‑round vegetable, herb, and nursery production. The remaining acreage will transition into silvopasture, perennial crops, and mixed‑use growing areas.
As a disabled veteran pursuing VA‑backed support and FSA financing, I am building this farm as a long‑term, resilient livelihood. I plan to develop 4–6 tiny home sites to support on‑farm labor, partners, and future residents, creating a stable housing and revenue component that aligns with the farm’s growth.
The property will continue to be stewarded using regenerative, Indigenous‑informed practices, rotational grazing, low‑impact livestock integration, and ecological restoration. My goal is to create a productive, educational, and community‑oriented farm that supports soil health, animal welfare, and long‑term ecological resilience.

Available Water / Irrigation

well


Soil Type / Quality

The property has coastal wetland‑edge soils with high organic matter, moderate clay content, and seasonal saturation. Portions of the land include hydric soils with slow drainage, making them well‑suited for pasture, silvopasture development, and rotational grazing. The soil holds nutrients well, supports strong fungal activity, and responds positively to regenerative management. Some areas experience seasonal water movement and require careful placement of infrastructure and cultivation zones.


Farm Equipment Available for Use, Sale or Lease

28 HP Kubota
Bandsaw Mill


Any Restrictions That Could Limit Agricultural Production

The property includes coastal wetland‑edge soils with seasonal saturation and hydric zones, which can limit heavy tillage, deep‑rooted annual crops, and early‑season field work. Some areas have slow drainage and require careful placement of infrastructure, greenhouses, and cultivation zones. The land is best suited for pasture‑based livestock, silvopasture, perennial crops, and greenhouse production rather than large‑scale row cropping. Access and equipment movement may be limited during the wet season, and certain areas are better reserved for ecological buffers or low‑impact use


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

Respect is the foundation of how I work with anyone on this land. As a disabled veteran and a regenerative farmer, I value clear communication, honesty, and mutual accountability. I believe in creating a working environment where people feel safe, respected, and able to bring their full selves to the work, regardless of race, gender, sexuality, culture, or background.
I approach relationships with patience, direct communication, and a commitment to listening. I want any partner or caretaker to feel heard and supported, and I expect the same in return. Decisions on the farm are made collaboratively, with transparency around goals, responsibilities, and expectations. I believe in addressing challenges early, celebrating progress, and maintaining a steady, respectful pace as we build the farm together.
What matters most to me is integrity, reliability, and shared values around land stewardship. If someone shows up with respect for the land, the animals, and the people involved, we can build a strong working relationship that supports both the farm’s success and each person’s well‑being.
