Since I will be coming from New York I will require on site housing as well as infrastructure for housing some of the livestock and storing equipment.
Additional Information
After hitting numerous dead ends on the NY Farmland for a New Generation website I was recommended by the head of the farm start program to check out land for good. It is my hope that by finding land to lease I will be able to generate enough income to eventually buy my own farm.
