What to do with acreage property...?
Hey all, not sure if this is the right forum for this scenario but it was the closest fit I could find. :)
I'm looking for ideas, suggestions, etc for what to do with some acreage property we own (about 8 acres) just outside Portland (Oregon). We recently logged the property, and now we're trying to figure out what to do next with it. It's farm use zoning, so needs to be a crop or animals or something along those lines. Soil and slope are great for wine grapes, but from other conversations we've had, we've been told it's not worth the huge investment for grapes unless you're doing the whole winery thing and producing your own label, etc. Essentially, we're not farmers and have no desire to spend all day in the field. But, we have good usable land that we want to put to use in a way that makes sense and at least has some profit potential. We've talked about partnering with someone since we can provide the high-value land, but not really sure where to start down that road. At this point pretty much open to ideas so let's hear it! :)
