Description of Property:
I own an old horse farm that survived the Alta Sierra subdivision and is 12 acres at 11054 Ball Rd along Rattlesnake Creek. I rent out the house, which is quite large, and barns, greenhouse etc. The tenant family there is open to negotiate a farmer to live in one part of it. I expect them to be leaving one time and I will probably turn it into a community house like I did with one in Grass Valley. This might be a possibility for an energetic and reliable up and coming farmer. I could provide some support for getting started.
Additional Notes:
I have a BS in Ag Science (means very little today) and a fairly extensive background in appropriate technology.
