There is ample evidence that there is enormous demand for organically grown, grass-fed farm products in New England.
Furthermore, we believe there is a strong demand for the "farm experience" in New Hampshire. We plan to open our property to a trail-riding experience that educates customers about sustainable farming and marketing farm products.
We believe that people vacationing in the Lakes Region will seek out this experience when made aware that it exists, and that it will serve as a good marketing strategy for our farm products. Products will be direct marketed on farm as well as at farmers markets. On farm sales will utilize the traffic created by the riding stable to maximize exposure of the farm retail products. Livestock will be processed at a USDA inspected facility allowing product to be sold and delivered across state lines, greatly increasing its salability.
The farm is located in Barnstead, NH, close to the southern tip of Lake Winnipesaukee, an extremely popular tourist region in New Hampshire. It is approximately 80 acres, with 65 acres in established pasture, balance in woods. The property has been meticulously maintained and updated. There is a large, well-mainained barn, a machinery/livestock shed, and another very large shed suitable for machinery and livestock, all meticulously maintained. The setting and farm itself are quintessentially New England, making it perfectly suited for both the farm operation and the agritourism business.
We seek an investor/partner to help purchase this farm in south-central New Hampshire that is perfectly suited to this venture. We have an accepted offer on the property for $617,000, an unparalleled value for such a property.
I have a large amount of expertise in agriculture, including a B.S. in Agricultural Education with an Emphasis on Business from the University of Wisconsin Platteville, as well as management experience both in beef production and in running a successful trail-riding stable. My experience running a successful and highly profitable trail-riding stable in a comparable tourist area of Wisconsin provides me with the expertise and tools to accomplish the same in the Lakes Region of NH.
