Additional Information

This is truly beautiful land in the Southeast corner of Warren County, Ohio and has been operated as a Permaculture Farm for the past 10 years. The land is in two parcels which must be sold together or one would be land locked. Included in the sale are solar panels totalling 3.0 KW with a new battery backup system. There is public electric, water, phone, internet, etc. at the street. We are selling due to illness in the family.

We have been raising fruits and veggies on the front section of this land since March, 2012. We have never used chemicals of any kind. There are two bee colonies which stay with the property. Several fruit trees and bushes are yielding very well. Our produce has been sold at the Deerfield Farmers' Market in Warren County for the past 10 years.

The back area has fruit and nut trees/bushes as well as open land and the 2 acre pond. There are 11 large hugglekulture mounds planted with Northern Pecan, Chinese Chestnut, Hazel, Butternut, Black Walnut, Pawpaw, Black Raspberries, Elderberries, Service Berries (Downy), Persimmon, Sassafras. Some of these are producing; some are young yet.

A discount is available if you mention Heartland FarmLink.
