Assumption , Illinois  (400 acres)

Two Roads Farm was purchased last year as a multiple member LLC enabling small investors to participate in sustainable agriculture. There are currently 14 members who invested a minimum of $25,000 each to own and operate this 400 acre organic farm. The prior owners of the farm were hoping to keep the farm organic but due to the large size were having difficulty finding new like-minded buyers. Midwest Organic Farm Management helped arrange for the purchase by pooling investors that wanted to operate a for profit organic farm and help sustain and diversify the overall business. We are looking for a few more investors to join the Two Roads Farm LLC and participate in the business plan for another 6 years. Additional information is on our website at www.midwestorganicfarms.com. The farm is located in central Illinois between Champaign and Springfield. Visitors are welcome.

Though we haven't had the soil tested, this property hasn't been farmed in about 40 years, nor is there any commercial agriculture nearby.

We would really like to see it in the hands of people who could realize its potential.

Elgin/Chicago/Other, Illinois  ( acres)

Looking for a minimum of 3-5 acres of woods to lease in Northern Illinois in or near Kane or DuPage county to raise dairy goats. I would also consider other areas within the state depending on the opportunity. I'm also interested in renting pasture for dairy cows and pastured poultry if someone has this too, but this isn't a requirement.

In exchange for use of your land, I would offer cash rent or even work-exchange. Because goats are defenseless against a predator and because they tend to need rescuing more often, I would also need a place to stay for myself. This can be either a room to rent (nothing fancy) or somewhere I can put a temporary travel trailer (not an eyesore). The only other requirements are that there's a source of clean water available and livestock are allowed. Any available buildings to rent would be a plus.
