For Lease Business Partnership Farm Management Cooperative Model

**Available for 2027 Season**

 

I am open to an arrangement that allows for a partnership, crop share or crop purchase rather than a monetary arrangement. Term can be anywhere from 1-10 years. I run a farmstand at a farmers market in Westchester county and can help with sales. Please reach out to discuss specifics. 

My ideal arrangement would be for a capable farmer with similar views to mine (focused on organic, non-GMO, soil improvement, enhancing biodiversity with cross pollinators) to farm the land with my part time assistance. If I found this farmer I would not ask for monetary compensation and would want to help spread the produce locally.

Are you willing to mentor a new or beginning farmer?
