I've got 30 AC that I now can't use and was originally planning to build a farm.  I don't want to give up on the homestead but don't want it just sitting there.  Any advice on how I go about finding a regenerative farmer who'd be interested?  I don't want a conventional farmer or even one who uses antibiotics or anything that that can eventually contaminate the ground.  Right now it's raw and unkept.

There is a forum here on Permies call "land shares" that might be helpful.  Do you have a farmer's market, co-op or natural foods store near you?  I would write out a short requirement list and put a posting there.  Talk to local master gardener programs to get the work out for what you are looking for.  

Post more details here?  ... Region, state, community... ecolgocial zone rainfall, soil type.  The more you can share to better chance you find what you need.

I would ask at the local feed store.

Where i live it is customary to run goats on someone else's property.

I am not sure the circumstances though to me it like letting their property regenerate while the goats are on someone else's property.

BTW, I added your post to the Land Shares Forum so you do not need to post there.

Thanks, I'll check out a feed store.

The land is in Levy county Fl.  Most of the farming around is conventional and cows or peanuts.  The land is fairly dry and sandy despite the Florida rain.
