States with Farming Opportunities!

Connecticut

#204 - New project: new farmers welcomed! Start-up 18 acre flower and organic vegetable farm development. Need experienced people to work on a cooperative basis. My land and their "venture capital of willingness, knowledge and experience" combined with my business development experience are a good match. (revised 8/9/04)

#238 - Property for rent or for farm manager consists of 6.1 acres, of which 3.6 acres has been open pasture for over a hundred years and 2.5 acres has a 260-year-old homestead, large barn and old apple orchard. Owner family occupies the house. The barn is an old type, two stories with six horse stalls. There is some farm equipment in questionable condition and fencing around the pasture. Owner, a retired doctor, wants to do some farming but has no experience. He wishes to have some animals (1-2 milking cows, sheep, chickens) and is open to ideas and suggestions. He is looking to have help starting up old, small farm that has been out of use for over fifty years

#277 - Game bird farm in eastern CT for sale: former dairy farm suitable for equestrian operations, tree farm, maple syrup (high concentration of maples) or rearing any form of livestock. Of 35 total acres about 4 are fenced pasture, balance woodland. Land use could include hunting, fishing and all forms of outdoor recreation.

Land has been farmed by the same family since 1910; land has lain fallow for 50 years but has been cut regularly to keep it open. There is a newly-renovated house on the property as well as two barns, a chicken coop, and a small roadside store.

Massachusetts

#203 - One hundred and fifty acres in south central Massachusetts in APR. 60 acres currently being hayed by tenant with equipment, but could exchange hay in return for labor by another renter. About 50 acres of pasture available with space in 200-year-old post and beam barn with stanchions and three horse stalls on two levels. Pastures are fenced but need updating. Happy to have new renter adapt barn to requirements of particular livestock. Also, approximately 2.5 acres woodland with many sugar and rock maples for possible maple syrup production. Two large bulk tanks in milkhouse and firewood available for cutting. Owners seek experienced, compatible farmers for one to five year lease to trim pastures and maintain the property. Some older equipment available. Housing rentals available nearby.

#222 - 3+ farm acres for lease. Historically-farmed sandy loam acreage maintained as open mowed meadow, bounded by perennial brook for irrigation - good road frontage and neighborhood location. General farm plan has local and state permit approvals. Long-term farming commitment preferred. Suitable for: CSA, fruit orchard, berries, annuals or perennial crops, wildflowrs, hay or grazing. Located close to major routes and commuter rail stop. (revised 8/9/04)

#227 - Approximately 30 acres located in Central Mass. Comprised of 20 tillable acres, 3 pasture, 7 woodland, and a small pond. The current owner has done extensive work stewarding the land, including regular manure applications to the fields, keeping the stone walls free from brush and seedling encroachment, and restoring the mid-1800's barn and its stone foundation. The owner would like to work with a motivated farmer committed to continuing the stewardship of the farm. Enterprise opportunities may include; tree fruits/nuts, small fruits, herbs, flowers, vegetables, greenhouse production, livestock, etc. Owner is interested in developing a plan and gaining assistance through the Farm Viability Program in Massachusetts to establish an enterprise with a prospective partner. To qualify for this program the partner would need to provide agricultural credentials, a passion for stewardship, and a desire to develop a profitable agricultural enterprise. A two-bedroom farmhouse (completely renovated) could possibly be available or potential farmers could locate or build their own housing. Beginning farmers are encouraged to apply. My latest idea is a focus on organic directions as well as agritourism. I believe that for the proper idea - good credentials and hard work - significant and sufficient funding would be available. At this time the availability of funding through the Massachusetts Agricultural Viability program is one of the many keys to this opportunity.

#232 - Profitable retail-destination nursery growing and selling annuals, perennials, woody plants. Assets include: mailing list of 4,500 gardeners throughout the Northeast; national and regional exposure through TV and major magazines, and newspapers; established seventeen-year reputation; wide selection of unusual plants, including many rare stock plants; track record of steady sales increase; owners willing to train.

All located in beautiful rural location in Connecticut River valley of Massachusetts close to Five Colleges, near major highways, within driving distance of Boston and New York City and in an area with an abundance of recreational and cultural opportunities. Request serious inquiries only. (posted 9/7/04)

#237 - Property for rent or long-term lease. I am interested in returning this land to farming. I have an old house and barn on three acres of farm land on Main St. in Boxford. An additional 4-5 acres adjacent land is likely available - owned by my niece and previously leased to local farmer for vegetable crops. Across the street is another 8-10 acres of town-owned conservation land, now used as hay field, that could likely be farmed. I am looking for someone to grow vegetables, organically if possible. This is likely a good CSA area - there is a farmers' market Saturday mornings in the next town. Part of the barn and part of the house could be part of the arrangement for rental. Three-hundred-year-old house has long family history: I am not sure of the eventual future ownership. This land was farmed in the past but not for ten years or more. There is no fencing in place and the nearby stream does not provide summer water. The house well is not sufficient for farming.

There is the potential to develop the land to raise organic specialty crops, flowers, plants, and/or herbs for sale at the store, possibly as part of a garden center to be developed.
