ABOUT THE LAND
Conveniently located less than five minutes from Castlegar, 0.25 to 1 acre of land is available for lease on a 8.5-acre working farm!
The land has been farmed for generations, with the current owner employing regenerative farming practices like bale grazing to build healthy topsoil. The sandy silt soil offers excellent drainage, and areas with intensive composting have a rich layer of loamy topsoil. The available plots are level with full sun exposure, and are situated within the secure, fully fenced perimeter of the farm.
The farm is currently home to a diverse array of livestock, including cows, sheep, goats, llamas, alpacas, geese, ducks, chickens and rabbits. The property also features an established orchard with apricot, pear, plum, apple and cherry trees.
ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY
This is an excellent opportunity for a new farmer seeking mentorship and potential collaboration with an experienced farmer. The available plots are an ideal starting point for those interested in vegetable or cut flower farming, with the added potential to engage in livestock care and profit-sharing with the landholder.
The landholder lives on-site in a spacious farmhouse and offers several accommodation options for incoming farmers, including those with a small family. Alternatively, incoming farmers are welcome to bring their own shelter – such as an RV or tiny home – to the property.
Considering its close proximity to Castlegar, this farm offers easy access to several local farmers’ markets within a 40 km radius, making it an ideal location to start a market garden!
ABOUT THE IDEAL CANDIDATE
The ideal candidate for this opportunity values open communication and is interested in fostering a complementary farming relationship with the landholder. Community-minded farmers will feel at home here!
The incoming farmer should also be comfortable establishing and maintaining gardens on a property that actively raises livestock.
If you’re looking for a small parcel for market gardening, get in touch now!
