The 207-acre farm has been in the family for 165 years and consists of 110 tillable acres, 72 wooded, and the remainder in pasture. Neighboring land available to rent if desired. All but the 22 acres now in corn could qualify as organic. 4 fields have been tile drained. Rolling land with varied topography. Very long frontage on Caroga Creek, plus 4800 on paved roads. 5-6 acres of mostly wooded creek flats could be developed into a field or recreational use if desired.
