Tenure options:

Description of tenure options:

We'd like to find a farmer who can eventually become a member of our community.  That would include an equity stake and the opportunity to build a house. 

The relationship would probably start off as a low cost rental while the farmer and existing community members get to know each other and see if it's a good fit.
