Leasing farm land

This year, we are gardening in a 6' by 14' raised bed, but we are setting our sights for something BIGGER next year! We want to lease farm land and start growing on a larger scale. Specifically, we are looking for a half acre to an acre to get us started.

 After attending the Missouri Organic Association conference earlier this year, we were able to be connected with a man named David Price. He works for the Lincoln University Cooperative Extension as a
Farm Outreach Worker and has played an integral part in helping us build our vision and knowledge base as future organic farmers. Besides letting us know about the farming webinars and workshops, Dave Price also connected us with a man named Dr. Granger.

Yesterday, we went to visit Dr. Granger and tour his property with the hopes of leasing farm land from him. His property is set in a picturesque part of St. Charles county, less than 30 minutes from where we are living, and less than a mile away from a farmer's market. Dr. Granger graciously took an hour and a half out of his day to talk to us and give us a tour of his property. His property is beautiful and the space available to farm is perfect. We are going to need a little help tilling the land and getting the soil ready, but we already have ideas for how to make that happen. Damian and I are excited about moving forward with leasing farm land from Dr. Granger and about getting one step closer to being future organic farmers!



Beautiful sunny space for farming

We need to work the soil a little
