Included in the offering!

-The business name and brand equity & Social media presence.

-The Primary Blueberry Field: The land was cleared and naturally amended with cover crops to achieve the perfect soil profile for blueberries. Because blueberry bushes require three years to fruit and five to reach full maturity, a buyer bypasses years of zero-income development. Last year, this field harvested 5,000 pints with ease. This mature field will maintain this high-producing average with minimal ongoing labor.

-Built-In Expansion Field: To meet overwhelming demand, an additional 145 properly cared-for bushes were planted two years ago. They will begin their first fruit production this year, immediately increasing the farm’s baseline yield.

-Forest-Grown Mushroom Operation:Utilizing the original ancient woodlands, an established mushroom business grows premium mushrooms on inoculated logs. These logs last 3 to 5 years with two harvests annually. The currently inoculated logs will automatically produce for the next several years.

-Nursery Plant Revenue Stream: The blueberry bushes produce their own offspring. Pruned in February, they create a highly economical source of secondary income. A large supply of plastic nursery pots is included in the sale to support this branch.

-Beehives & Raised Bed Extravaganza:The sale includes two established beehives, which serve as essential pollinators to guarantee high crop yields. Additionally, there are 20 fully soiled, low-maintenance galvanized raised beds for flowers, spices, and vegetables, beautifully surrounding a central pond built from repurposed stones from the property's original homestead.

-Certified Jam Kitchen: The farm's homemade jam is wildly popular. The barn was built to all required standards for a certified jam kitchen. To support this growing branch, fields of blackberries, strawberries and figs have also been successfully established. Certified Jam Kitchen & Processing 16-foot stainless steel food processing counter with four built-in sinks. Four (4) refrigerators, Commercial dehydrator.
