Plan
Marz Farm is developing a small scale, family oriented agricultural operation focused on growing fresh vegetables, fruits, herbs, nursery plants, and raising poultry. We are looking for affordable farmland that will allow us to establish a productive homestead while gradually expanding agricultural production and farm based income.
Our goal is to build a sustainable micro farm with gardens, fruit trees, poultry, possible small livestock, greenhouse production, and nursery stock. We are particularly interested in property with existing agricultural infrastructure or the potential to develop it over time.
We are seeking a long term land arrangement with a landowner who is open to supporting a beginning farm operation and allowing the property to be developed responsibly. We are interested in building a productive farm that can provide food for our household while also creating opportunities for future farm sales and community-based agricultural activities.
Desired Transitional Agreement
Description of Desired Transitional Agreement
We are primarily interested in a long-term lease or lease-to-own arrangement, but we are also open to purchasing property or developing a business partnership with a landowner. furthermore, We are open to discussing mutually beneficial arrangements with landowners who have underutilized agricultural property.

Additional Information on Produce or Livestock Needs
The initial production plan will focus on vegetables, herbs, fruit trees, nursery plants, and poultry. Planned crops may include seasonal vegetables, culinary herbs, fruit bearing plants, and other crops suited to the property's soil, water availability, and climate.
The farm may gradually expand into small livestock, beekeeping, greenhouse production, and additional perennial crops as infrastructure and experience develop. Production will begin on a manageable scale and expand responsibly based on available acreage, resources, and market demand.
Preferred Equipment and Infrastructure
Equipment and Infrastructure Details
Priority needs include reliable water access, electricity, fencing, storage, and suitable agricultural land. Existing barns, sheds, greenhouses, irrigation systems, wells, ponds, livestock structures, and farm equipment are highly desirable but are not required. Farmer housing or the ability to establish appropriate housing on the property would be a significant benefit.
The property should have adequate road access and suitable areas for vegetable production, fruit trees, poultry, nursery plants, and future farm expansion. We are also interested in properties where existing structures can be repaired or adapted for agricultural use.
