Farm and Crop Description
After lengthy deliberations, Heather and I have decided to offer THE WARREN FARM for sale. We have had a great time for the past 20+ years and are getting to the point where we believe it is time for a change. We believe change will be good for both ourselves and the farm. I grew up on the farm and it has been a major part of my life for the past 60 years. Heather has been involved in the farm since 1990. She often says “ I like the view from every window”. We have contracted with Lisa Lentz of the Bean Group to handle the sale. We are asking $975,000.
My parents, with the blessing of myself and my siblings, protected the farm in 1989 thru the LCIP. The farm is protected by a conservation easement and cannot be sub-divided or developed. A new owner can pursue agriculture, animal husbandry, forestry, or horticulture if they wish. The farm has 244 acres. We understand that the sale process may be lengthy, and we want to let you know that we will continue doing our regular farming until which time a buyer comes forth. Thus you probably will see no obvious changes. The highlight of my (our) time here has been our customers. It continues to warm our hearts when people enjoy the farm and all its’ bounty. We have been so very blessed to live here and we hope you continue to support the farm as we go thru this process.
We are the 2nd generation of Warrens to sustainably farm this land since 1946. Our mission is to grow food, great food, and educate and inspire you about our responsibility towards the earth, farming, land conservation concerns and living simply. There is a saying; "You must give it away to keep it" and whenever we have conversations with customers we in turn come away inspired and educated. In 1989 the first generation of Warren's placed a permanent conservation easement on the 244 acre farm thru the Land Conservation Investment Program. This conservation easement protects the land from development in a time when huge tracts of prime farm land are being planted into a final crop of strip malls, houses and highways.

Winter Update
Posted by Randy Warren :: Wednesday, February 1 :: 10:18am
The winter has been excellent for outside work. Cutting firewood has been the predominant work. During February we will be starting to create additional wildlife openings. Our past work on wildlife habitat has been very successful and we hope this work will lead to more diversity and volumn of wildlife. We continue to be open by appointment for handmade herbal soap, maple syrup, garlic, and Scott Young's nature prints. We will be starting our first tomato plants for 2012 soon.
