Succession

We're looking for a couple, family, or single person to live here and manage the farm. The arrangement we are offering is a lease. For a reasonable rate, the lessee will get a house to live in, most of the tilled land on the farm, a greenhouse, and tools and equipment.

The business you create will build on the reputation of Clayfield Farm but it will be your own business. Phil and Deborah need not be involved. We are happy to share our knowledge when asked to do so.

The lessee will be responsible for the upkeep of the farm. We also ask that the lessee grow the food we will need. We will start with a one-year lease and evaluate after that to see if we all want to continue. The next lease will be for 3 years. After 4 years we intend to turn over the farm to the new farmers.
