Desired Transitional Agreement
Description of Desired Transitional Agreement
We are primarily interested in purchasing land but are also open to lease-to-own or other creative arrangements that allow for a smooth transition. We understand that every property and situation is different and are happy to work together on a structure that benefits both parties. Our goal is to build a long-term relationship while responsibly caring for the land.

Additional Information on Produce or Livestock Needs
Our long-term goal is to develop a small family homestead that includes chickens for egg production, a garden for vegetables and herbs, and potentially other small livestock over time. We are passionate about responsible animal care and sustainable growing practices, and we want to create a property that supports both family life and agriculture.
Preferred Equipment and Infrastructure
Equipment and Infrastructure Details
Existing infrastructure such as barns, fencing, outbuildings, and utility access would be very helpful but are not required. We are open to working with whatever currently exists on the property and would be happy to maintain and make good use of any equipment or structures that may be included. We are also prepared to build or improve infrastructure as needed to support our farm and training activities.

Additional Info on Experience/Education
We currently have a decent size home garden and raise about 40 chickens for eggs. My family and I are looking for land where we can build a small homestead and continue growing our dog training business. Our goal is to raise our children in a lifestyle that values land stewardship, growing food, and caring for animals.
We plan to use the property for a small farm setup with chickens, gardens, and other livestock, while also operating our professional dog training program that focuses on training and educating dog owners.
We deeply value the responsibility of caring for land and want to preserve and improve whatever property we purchase for future generations.
