Partners are sought for an ongoing farm enterprise in central Vermont.
A diversified organic farm raising fruit, greenhouse plants and poultry with a bakery, campground and an educational component seeks experienced farmer(s) interested in ownership of half the value of the property who would like to establish their own agricultural venture or homestead on the land.
The farm is a west-facing hillside property consisting of 40 open acres, about 20 available for livestock and 10 for other projects. The remainder of the 69 total acres is a 36-acre woodlot and wooded areas along the multiple streams/drainages. Water is plentiful and of excellent quality. Buildings include two greenhouses, a barn, a farmhouse with licensed kitchen, a 24x32 ft. off-grid woods house and some older or smaller buildings for storage and the facilities for the guest part of the farm. Housing for a second owner is not currently available. There are three tractors, some crop production equipment and two greenhouses.
The current owner would maintain ownership of the farmhouse and campground continuing to operate the established parts of the business. Shared maintenance of the property is expected. Part time employment for partners is an option. Eventual/gradual purchase of the total property is on the table.
