Hoch Orchard Application (Phase I)

This application will follow a three-step process. The first step is to fill out questions below and submit this form. Applicants who complete the questions under Phase I will be invited to an open house at the Orchard at the end of February. Attendees will be able to tour the farm and ask Jackie Hoch questions about the property. Following the open house, applicants who are interested in purchasing the property must complete a more detailed application under Phase II. An independent advisory committee will evaluate applications and top candidates will be invited to participate in an interview.

Both individuals and groups of farmers with multiple proposed enterprises are encouraged to apply. If applying as part of a group or cooperative, please ensure that all members of the cooperative participate in the application and include details on each member’s experience and proposed plans.

If preferred, please note that we can accommodate an interview in lieu of a written application. Should that be your preference, please contact Bonnie Warndahl at bonnie@rtcinfo.org or 612.462.9311
