Hi all,
Not sure if this is appropriate here or not but we are looking for farmers to rent a newly renovated, beautiful, sunny apartment with 1300 square feet, 2-3 bedrooms (depending on configuration), wood heat, an attached shed/breezeway and a very small barn/shed.  The building sits on 4.5 acres of currently unfarmed field with perfect southern exposure that we would love to be cultivated or turned over to pasture.  Lots of potential and opportunity here.  It's located right in the middle of a tiny town in very rural western Massachusetts (between Pittsfield/Northampton)  surrounded by farms and fields with an elementary school less than 2 miles away.  Renovations are 95% complete and will be ready by June or middle of May and include earth plastered walls and lumber produced by me.

If you are interested or know of anyone, please forward this along.  We are asking $1600 a month plus utilities.  We'll have pics soon.  As I said, this is preliminary.  We have a farm 3 miles away with numerous permaculture-based features and extensive orchards and nut/berry plantings and you would be neighbors with many like-minded people.  It's paradise!

Hi there Buster,
Any chance you can elaborate on your air compressor setup?  What about freezing temperatures etc?  I could keep a compressor in my basement perhaps with a water line running through the wall, 4' below grade to our well 15' away.  The water level is at about 30' down.  Very interesting idea.  Thanks for it.  Otherwise, I'm slowly working on a gravity feed system (spring running to a 1500 gal cistern piped to the house) and have a Bison hand pump as of now but would love to get running water to the house sooner than later.
