Jake is seeking 10-20 acres of land (at least half tillable and the remaining land a combination of pasture and forested) within 30 minutes of Northfield, MN. Jake is a beginning farmer who intends to develop a diversified operation centered on regenerative poultry production. Ideally, the land is currently owned and farmed by farmers who want to teach about their land and their existing operation. Jake is open to slow transitions of ownership that allow retiring farmers to access cash while they see the stewardship of their land transitioned to new hands. Ideally, there is an existing house on site but this is not a deal breaker.

Anton and Rachel are seeking a farmer(s)/orchardist(s) to transition into running an orchard and/or diversified farming operation on their 60 acre farm in southern Dunn County near Menomonie. Specific arrangements and options for involvement are flexible, but could include managing the business, purchasing all or part of the operation, or other creative arrangements. Infrastructure, housing, and equipment are all available. Our main interest is in finding someone who could transition into taking over day-to-day management of all or most of the operation. The orchard consists of two separate 5 acre blocks. Approximately 30 acres are wooded on relatively steep slopes, the remaining 20 acres contains gently rolling pastureland, and the land around the buildings. All the buildings were self-designed and mostly self-built, and are all unique. A 6.8kW solar array is installed on roofs of two buildings and provide for a significant portion of the energy use of the farm. There are about 12 acres of electric fenced pasture, waterlines for grazing, and supplies for rotational grazing. Other outbuildings include a couple of sheds, a covered garage/carport, a unique self-built barn which is mostly used as a workshop/storage, and a fully enclosed and insulated 2200 sq.ft packing facility with a large (20x24) walk-in cooler and small 600 sq. ft. 1 bedroom upstairs apartment. The certified organic orchard operation includes about 10 acres of fenced in trees and bushes. The principal crop is apples with smaller plantings of pears, plums, currants, and blueberries. Orchard includes many varieties of apples, with harvest extending from very early season (late July) through the end of October and includes many heirloom, disease resistant, and other unique varieties. The orchard sells CSA-style fruit and apple shares, with an existing member base, as well as selling in markets in Minneapolis, and a small amount of wholesale sales. More recently, the orchard obtained a license to sell farmstead hard cider.
