Land Link

Posted in

This page is a first step in trying to link willing growers with those people with appropriate land. It will be a simple bulletin board format for now, but hopefully will evolve as we learn more about the needs of the prospective grower and the land owner including resources on appropriate arrangements for securing land for production such as leases and other methods. Please contact Jim Dyer if you would like to post a listing.

We are simply listing information we receive and in no way can verify any statements made. Any agreements are solely between the individuals who make contact.

LISTINGS (most recent first):

  • 62 acres in Egnar, CO. Of the 62 acres, 20 acres have been cleared and are ready to be farmed, and am currently searching for someone to farm it. However, there is no irrigation on the property, nor is there any electricity. Also, I will not be allowing any pesticides or chemical treatment on the land ( all must be organic ).  The rest of my property is set to be a self sustainable eco village / ranch. I will be moving down there here in the next month or so to get things off the ground. I am well versed in aquaponics, hydroponics, and aqua-culture gardening techniques, as well as most self sustainable practices, renewable energies, and alternative / experimental home design. I can be reached at 801-637-9637. (Posted on 26th of March, 2012).

  • Farm for Lease in southwest Archuleta County Colorado with two small houses included if necessary. I am looking for somebody familiar with organic and sustainable agricultural practices.
