ABOUT THE LAND
This beautiful property features 80 acres of bountiful mixed grazing and market gardening opportunity in Prince George, BC! The current landholders, who live on-site, would love to see the whole property in operation. They are searching for like-minded farmers who are passionate about diversified, eco-friendly farming.
The land features silty loam soils and multiple water systems nearby, including lakes with excellent fishing and recreation. Grey Lake is the closest, located right beside the property. If you are a nature-loving outdoor enthusiast, this is the place for you!
ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY
This opportunity is open to many types of production, including various crops and livestock, provided the incoming farmer uses ecological or organic farming methods. This is a very flexible opportunity for the right individual wanting to grow environmentally-friendly food!
The landholders have experience with market gardening and are willing to mentor the incoming farmer. Given that they have an established customer base, they would ideally like the incoming farmer to be interested in taking over their operation. The incoming farmer could also make use of resources and infrastructure on the property.
For the right individual, the landholders are very interested in a generous lease-to-own agreement. Tiny homes/travel trailers would be welcome on the land!
ABOUT THE IDEAL CANDIDATE
The ideal candidate for this opportunity is someone who is interested in commercial agricultural production, beyond homesteading. The land, having been previously used for vegetable production and small scale hatchery, is best suited for someone interested in starting a market garden and or poultry operation.
The landholders want to continue to live on the property and “age in place” so maintaining good open and transparent communication with the landholders is key.
