LAND OPPORTUNITY: FERTILE PLOTS FOR SMALL-SCALE FARMING – LANGLEY, BC

We always have new land opportunities coming into our inventory, some of which aren’t on our blog yet! Get in touch with a Land Matcher at bclmp@youngagrarians.org to learn about the latest opportunities and to access free B.C. Land Matching Program services in your region.

ABOUT THE LAND

Multiple small plots of fertile farmland are available in Langley, conveniently located off 16th Avenue.

Historically, the land has been used to grow blueberries, but the plots are now ready to be cultivated by new farmers. The soil is rich and highly productive, perfect for growing vegetables, fruit, flowers, and more!

There is a seasonal farm stand already in place, which the incoming farmer could use for on-farm sales. There is also a barn with concrete pads, which could potentially be used as shared storage. Farm access roads have been established on the property, allowing for easy access and management of the farm plots, and the landholder is working on creating a designated parking space. Water for irrigation is available from a well on-site.

ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY

This property offers an excellent opportunity to grow healthy crops and connect with fellow farmers and the local community through farm-gate sales!

The opportunity is open to many production types, including market gardening, vegetables, fruit, flowers, and mushrooms. There are several size options (0.125, 0.25, and 0.5 acre) on the property; incoming farmers could lease one or multiple plots, depending on how much space they require.

Farmers can bring their own farm tools and machinery onto the property, or there is a tractor/operator available for an hourly contract, if needed.

ABOUT THE IDEAL CANDIDATE

Given that there may be multiple farmers cultivating their own small plots on the property, this opportunity would be well-suited to farmers who enjoy sharing space and working near others.

The ideal candidate would be community-minded and co-operative in nature. This is a great opportunity for farmers who are starting out who would value developing their growing skills in a semi-turnkey environment.
