Partnership Opportunity for Vegetable & Flower Business +


Description

I have a ten-acre property in Twickenham (Wheeler County) that is close to the John Day River and not far from the Painted Hills.

It features a fenced-in garden area that is approximately 100’ x 55’, and two greenhouses (80’ x 20’ & 25’ x 20’).

The property is available for growing vegetables, flowers, various plants, and/or herbs. A half acre was recently plowed and I planted 100 lavender plants and a variety of drought tolerant flowers. The rest of the area is available to plant as well. The soil is PH 7.

A renovated, one-room schoolhouse is also available for classes, experiences, or small events.

I’m interested in a partnership for farm direct sales and to help provide various consumer experiences i.e. picking fresh lavender on the property and then taking a lavender oil and soap making class in the schoolhouse.

At this time there is no place to stay on the property so someone who has an RV is ideal. I am available to water plants daily so you do not have to always be on the property.

There are four cats that live on the property. If you have a dog(s) they are allowed but must be leashed at all times unless they are in the fenced-in garden space.


Owner’s Short Term Vision for the Property

Starting a farm direct sale business, selling vegetables, flowers and herbs + offering various experiences to the public.


Owner’s Long Term Vision for the Property

I have approved plans from the county planning department to put a private campground on my property. The campground will feature four campsites and two amenity stations which will include showers and bathrooms.
