Land Seeker Description

Hello!

I am seeking farmland for lease / lease to own / owner contract land.  Housing is necessary. Greenhouse is a plus, but not necessary.

I am medicinal herb grower (not cannabis), culinary herb grower, small nursery, and aspiring flower farmer.  I am looking to expand and grow cut flowers, medicinal and culinary herbs, storage crops, and have bees.  I have 17 years experience–a background in permaculture, regenerative design, sustainable ag, and biodynamic farming.

I also teach Agriculture at Hood River Valley High School, and would like to create opportunities for internships for students to have a model farm to work at.

We are pre-approved for a home loan currently and ready to buy or work with the owner on long term lease/lease to own options.
