I've been a fan of this forum for a while now, but this is my first post. I am trying to find a small chunk of land where I can start getting my hands dirty! I am open to paying by lease, food share, free help on your own operation, or however you might see fit. If you (or someone you know) have unused land around the Tampa Bay area that you might want to be put to good use while preserving the soil, please contact me!
Check out bigsmallfarm.org - that's exactly what we do - long term leases to aspiring farmers from $20/acre/year. Let me know if that sounds interesting
