Additional Information
For lease is a 4.9 acre field in Little Compton, RI on a private historic farm setting. Lease cost for the field $500/year. Gently sloped field with good drainaige and pretty views of neighboring farmland. Field had been leased to another farmer over the past 30 years who grew a variety of crops in the field including vegtables, flowers, strawberries, potatoes, soy bean, corn, tomatoes, squash etc.
Ideally would like someone to farm it and maintain the field as pasture, grazing land, but will also be open to crops. If crops are planted landowner would prefer organic or very low input crops and will require cover cropping over the winter. Landowner also will require that brush along the stonewalls is cut annually to as well as maintaining the stone walls that outline the field. There is an artesian well in an adjacent field which could be used to potentially provide water for animals on site. Local farmers and/or organic farmers to receive first consideration.
Landowner will entertain longer lease periods once a mutually beneficial relationship is established between lessor and lessee after first year. Farmer should have ready access to all equipment needed to undertake their farming enterprise as well as maintain the field and stone walls.
