So, we did a thing. We have been working with the USDA for the last year trying to get a Farm Ownership Loan. Well, we meet our realtor to pick up the keys at three o'clock today. We found fifty acres of mature oak trees on a south facing slope. It is raw land, the only thing it has on it is a 20 gpm water well. It's off grid. We have paved road access that is at 2800' elevation, the back of the property drops to about 2300'. It borders BLM land on two sides. One slope faces Southeast with views of the Stockton valley, one faces Southwest with views of Sacramento. It has two intermittent creeks, and a spring. We are one hour and fifteen minutes from our farmers markets and most of our delivery customers. The plan is to add some interns and a full time worker, create a new market garden and expand our sounder of hogs. We have twenty five pregnant sows now, and have about ten more to breed. I will post a lot more on here, as we go.
