I imagine there may be a nursery owner nearing retirement and wishing to transition their nursery business to a partner or new owner gradually, hand it off entirely, or remain involved and continue to reside on the land. I am open to purchasing, leasing, or creative arrangements that meet the needs of both parties. I have been operating a plant nursery business from my home for 5+ years and would like to expand, but the land on which I am currently growing isn't quite right for expansion. My family is open to relocating, or staying where we are and the nursery being within a reasonable commute of our home near Lake Elmore. Community is important to us, and something we have been seeking, and if that came along as part of the package, it would be welcomed! 

I am a 34 y/o young professional on a journey of self discovery and love. My 3 bonded elderly kitties and I seeking secure housing and ideally farm work as well. 
 
I am open to renting a room, but ideally seeking a space of my own for me and my cats.

I am exceptionally clean, and organized. I do not drink, smoke and do not party. I work full time in early childhood education but my passion is in vegetable production and native flora. I love to spend time at home cooking and enjoying my solitude.

I have a background in small scale agriculture, environmental advocacy and early childhood education. I would love so much to have space to cultivate. I am also open to assisting in a shared garden space too! 

Without a work for rent trade, my budget is $1200 MAX. Move in date could be anywhere from now until June 1.

You will also be in charge of a large blueberry patch picking them as they ripen.

The growing season has begun!  We are excited to have another awesome human join us on the flower farm!

Pistil Production is located in Morrisville, VT where we cultivate over 100 varieties of cut ornamentals.  The methods employed are no/low til, intensive cultivation.  Our main sales channel is wholesale, but also some retail and finished product from our own floral design for events.  The season is busy and includes many tasks and skills: seed propagation, field/bed prep, transplanting, weeding, harvesting, processing, packing.  We stick to a regular schedule (Mon-Fri), but often put in later days during transplanting season.
