Commercial greenhouses and nursery in North Brunswick, NJ seeking new direction and management. This 2-acre property has served as a successful commercial vegetable and landscape plant production farm and garden center for decades. As of this year, the land and facilities are in need of a new farm manager interested in a long-term lease deal. The landowner is willing to purchase additional housing (mobile home or similar) for prospective farmer. Looking for whole-systems farming, forest garden nursery, medicinal plant nursery, local farm-table vegetables, CSA, or other innovative models!

The 2-acre property holds two 4500 sq ft glass greenhouses with attached workshop and 300 sq ft retail garden center; greenhouses are equipped with heat, benches, tools and materials. Two additional open hoop houses without plastic (4800 and 1900 sq ft) stand adjacent to the glass greenhouses. All structures are old and aged, but still in good working condition. There is a 3000 sq ft trellised patio space adjacent to the garden center building, which is currently populated with potted landscape and edible trees and shrubs left over from the previous manager, recently deceased. There is also a house on site, which serves as the permanent residence of the landowner.

Applied permaculture lifestyle question: I live in Fairfield, IA where you recently taught a weekend intensive. Now some of us who attended are planning to implement the technique as appropriate in our 100-acre broadscale permaculture design. As I get more involved in the permaculture world there are endless opportunities to be involved in awesome projects. How do you manage to stay balanced amidst the high demand for your time and being involved in everyone's projects? I.e. What defines your membrane or filter?
