Looking for the following:

Type of opportunity:

Sale (Standard), Sale (Owner Financed), Lease (5+ Years).

Qualifications and goals:

Previous farming experience:

Volunteer, Employee

Number of years experience:

1

Production goals:

Christmas trees, Hogs, Orchard, Poultry (Broiler/Layer). More info: Plan to use the land for mixed use to maximize production, this will include an apple orchard with a few plum trees mixed in, Christmas trees, swine, chickens and a garden for personal use and animal feed. We believe in an organic approach to farming, we will likely not seek organic certification until the US system is updated to reflect current realities.

Personal experience and production goals summary:

I have worked several summers in orchards and vineyards and grew up in an agriculture community. I plan to make the farm self sufficient and help to solve some of Tennessee's severe deficiencies with agriculture in the sectors listed. 

I plan to market through a website (I have 8 years of experience running a successful retail site), farmers market and introduce a method of sale used where I moved from, called the "farm-box". This method will guarantee customers a random selection of a certain weight or volume of fresh produce each week, this food then gets delivered direct to consumer.
