Property is located in El Dorado Co. on the S. Fork of the Cosumnes River. Ten acres with meadows and woodlands. There has been vegetable production in two of the three garden areas for three years, third garden area, about 130'x60' is new and has been cover-cropped. Soil is clay loam and has been ammended with manure, compost, etc. There is a 50+ tree apple, pear, cherry, walnut orchard.

Willow Brook Farm
Submitted by Greg Zaller on Wed, 12/14/2011 - 10:33Size in Acres:
12
Existing Infrastructure:
Within Alta Sierra but zoned horse farm. It used to be called Willow Brook Farms before Alta Sierra was built. There are two barns, a greenhouse, small orchard, large house, and lots of Rattlesnake creek frontage
Housing:
possible
Location
Alta Sierra, CA 95949
United States
39° 8' 41.7912" N, 121° 3' 26.622" W
See map: Google Maps
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.
