Do you have a strong desire to get back to the land? This is a rare opportunity to make that change in lifestyle you have been thinking about. This property is a well-established, working elderberry farm with a growing financial top line sited on 22 peaceful quiet acres. This is a wonderful opportunity to live and work with your hands and be your own boss in a business with solid growth ahead of it.

The farm has been in operation for approximately 8 years during which time the infrastructure of the farm has been steadily, meticulously, and intelligently improved to make this truly a turnkey operation. The soil has also undergone steady improvement under the consultancy of an independent expert in soils management. The list of improvements to the property is long and available to interested parties. There is abundant water, sewer and electricity on site. Current owners have lived comfortably on this beautiful site in an RV, which is not included in the sale.

Crops are served by a well-thought out in-ground irrigation and fertilization system which draws 7 gallons per minute from a well producing 22 gallons per minute. The well can easily handle an expanded irrigation and fertilization demand.

Included in the sale is all of the equipment needed to run the farm, plus 900 lush healthy elderberry plants, 600 bare root bushes growing for 2021 sales, 44 Aronia bushes, 190 blueberry bushes, 5 pear trees, 4 apple trees, 3 cherry trees, and 15 grape vines.

There are revenue streams poised to be developed and the sellers are willing to provide extended informal guidance to new farmers on farm and business management. Sellers will pass on to Buyers all business contacts and relationships and assist in the successful transition to new ownership of the farm. Sellers are retiring and wish to see this farm go to good stewards of the land who can continue the business they have grown and nurtured.
