For Sale: Permaculture farm close to town
15 acres near Fulton, IL just a 5 minute drive to a grocery store or the Mississippi River!
~50 apple, peach, and plum trees, many of which have been underplanted with comfrey, rhubarb,
horseradish, oregano, thyme, and other perennials.
Trial plantings of currants and gooseberries – several cultivars planted to see which ones thrive in site-
specific soil and provide a bank of germplasm for sharing/selling.
Various trees, vines, and perennials around living quarters including peaches, kiwis, grapes, horseradish,
garlic chives, nettles, rhubarb, aronia, elderberries, currants, gooseberries, raspberries, blackberries,
lilies, iris, wildflowers, and bamboo!
Barns/outbuildings for storing tools and raising animals. 45 HP tractor with all the implements for
maintaining the farm and new construction, ~600 hours new in 2016.
House as-is, currently livable and occupied. New well in 2013. New metal roof in 2018. Wood burning
furnace and rocket stove thermal mass heater. Grid-tied electricity. Decent bones to remodel in your
style or build an earth-sheltered greenhouse – there’s plenty of space for projects! I’m interested in mentoring and helping out hands-on with someone new or turning it over completely – up to you.
