Description

The Wintonbury Land Trust seeks to lease farmland located on the west side of Bloomfield at 22 Duncaster Rd.The existing lease used the farmland as pasture for highland cows and the barn as a CSA and hay storage. The current farmer leaves the farmland in good condition. The Bank barn will support 2,600 standard hay bales on the upper level. The farm is located in a residential neighborhood adjacent to two other properties that are currently used for agriculture. The intent of the Land Trust is to find an energetic farmer who demonstrates the skills to operate this farm and presents a long term growth plan for this property. This farm requires public trail access in accordance with DEEP standards. A NRCS conservation easement and management plan is in place on this farm.
