John Salmen and his family are looking for a steward to lease and operate their 55 acre Permaculture homestead, until the next generation of their family is ready to live there. The property is in mid-north western Minnesota, on land and waters that were cherished and fought over by the ancestors of our Mdewakonton and Ojibway neighbors.  The property comes with a beautiful wheelchair accessible house, at the end of a 1/2 mile private gravel driveway. (See VRBO 3853839. ) The two story house overlooks their 450’ shoreline on a spring fed, no public access lake; at the top of a chain that flows to Hudsons Bay. The house has a rentable apartment, 2 car wood stove heated garage/workshop with EV charger.  There is a Deep Winter Greenhouse and fenced Hugelkulture vegetable and pollinator gardens, that can supply fresh vegetables all year long. There is a large pole barn with concrete floor, 2 sheds and PV solar arrays that supply all electricity plus ~$350/mo income.  The property has not been sprayed in over 30 years. In 2021 we started a food forest with 500 trees in a 35 acre pasture that was mowed until 5 years ago. There are ~20 acres of deciduous forest. We believe that animal husbandry could be a successful money maker, and would consider capitalizing additional permanent infrastructure. Terms of the lease will be based on the Tenant's proposed farming plan.

Anne on behalf of the Land Conservation Natural Burial Association is seeking to conserve/restore a minimum of 20 acres. But if the land directly touches other protected land, the minimum is much lower: just 5 acres (though more is welcome!). If you have a much larger parcel of land that you would like to conserve, a natural burial area could be established on a small portion of that land. We have no restrictions on the history of the land. We are seeking land on which to establish a natural burial area/cemetery that could be protected by an established conservation organization through a specially crafted conservation easement. Land could include pre-existing historic burial area. We seek land with potential conservation value that is not already enrolled in a permanent land protection program. Land that is: -Located within a reasonable drive from the Twin Cities -Relatively dry soil that is not too rocky -Mostly flat topography (ie, the bulk of the acres are not steeper than a 15% grade)

In the southwest part of Luverne, MN there is a parcel of land that measures 1.15 acres. The land at one time was a sheep pasture, with the south boundary having the original fence. It was mowed in the late 70's to look nice and neat as people would drive into the west end of Luverne on County Road 4. In the early 80's it was planted into an orchard for a son. This was his 4-H project of different fruits. There were at least 13 varieties of apples, 2 varieties of pears, 2 varieties of tart cherry, apricots, plums, grapes, raspberries and strawberries. This fruit was sold at Luverne Flowers in a special cooler for fruit, then at the local Farmers Markets and donated to the Rock County Food Shelf. As time moved on, so did the age of trees and people. The son moved on to a career and parents were finding other things to keep them busy. Older poor-quality trees were removed and became fire wood. At one point there was a clearing that could accommodate the vines of watermelon, cantaloupe and squash. Now the time has come for new hands to work the land to make it productive. There are 6 apple trees remaining, each a different variety, 3 curly willow clumps and a strawberry bed about 9 ft X 50 ft.  There is also a 60 ft X 30 ft Gothic Greenhouse with a double poly covering.  There is no housing.  Price:  $30,000 available immediately.
