The developers (not me) of a new 2500 acre planned community in central Texas are looking for farmers to produce market fruits and veggies. At this point the framework is a blank slate but there is a farmer's market on the property, well or
pond water is available and several 2-10 acre sites have been identified as farm plots. They are willing to allow free use of the
land to bring in the farmers they want to see and to develop their vision of a
sustainable community. Organic is preferred and
Permaculture would be really cool. I'm a recent
PDC grad and live in the community but I'm not a farmer so I want to see if there is any interest out there. Any SPIN farmers or aspiring CSA startups looking for land? Housing and farm equipment is also available along with free
Hugel and
compost materials. Integrated animal systems are a possibility and any other ideas would be welcome. Some growing
experience would be necessary because you would be running your own show. If interested let me know and I will make the introductions.
