Taproots Farm Hub is looking for a home to grow our roots. We are seeking land with a few requirements. Below is our “wish list”. If you have any leads, please let us know.
Must-haves:
40-200 acres
As close as possible to Boise
Reliable water (ideally groundwater and surface irrigation, but potential for a supplemental groundwater right is a must if it just has surface water)
Potential for 30-year lease, lease-to-own, or eventual ownership.
The land does not have to be owned by Taproots in the future.
Land could be owned by land trust or another public entity.
Extras and pluses:
Collaborative partners who care about the future of agriculture in Idaho
Buildings with areas for office and/or classrooms
Equipment storage
Available housing
Wash/pack station
Bathrooms
Parking area
Kitchen for value-added production
Walk-in cooler(s)
