Lease, trade and/or creative solution on 80 acres in Linn County

Description

80 acre regenerative, grazing-based cow microdairy is rehabbing land and farm. Seeking graziers of other species, especially hogs, chickens and goats, to complement our land improvement goals. We are both open to ideas and have ideas about how other grazing-based enterprises would be compatible with our current farm plans. Folks with realistic, enactable plans for hogs, chickens or goats would be a good match for our operation.

Housing options include sharing our intern house (double wide), our RV that needs some attention (former intern accommodation that hasn’t been used for 3 years), and siting your tiny house or other mobile/semi-permanent shelter.

We are 3 1/2 years on this farm and have done major clean up and improvements. More to be done! We leased 50 acres for 5 years previous to this, and have lived and farmed on several folks’ properties, and have experience negotiating with others.

We are very interested in work-trade arrangements.
