About V-Farms

I'm Josh Galt III. After nearly 2 decades living abroad, I am now moving my family back to a farm in Oregon, where I have my roots. To find it, I went through about 1,100 farm listings across 35 US states, and most of the good ones fail on something simple, usually the house. V-Farms is that search, written up every week: the best small grazing farms and homesteads I find, for sale, for lease, and caretaker deals. It starts in the US, and Latin America comes next.

A publisher, not a broker

  • V-Farms takes no money from sellers, developers, or brokers, and no commissions. Readers pay for the list, and that's all.
  • We never charge anyone for an introduction, a match, a lease, or a sale.
  • Every member gets the same research. There's no paid matching.
  • We write about the land and the terms, never the people.
  • We write in our own words, and every farm links to its source.

How a farm gets on the list

Every farm on the list has to grow grass. If the land can't grow it, you don't get the animal units, and everything after that gets expensive.

Then it clears one of two bars.

The homestead bar

  • Its level is clear, from raw land to a house you can move into, along with whether a house can be built.
  • It has water you control: at least one year-round source, with the right to use it.
  • It grows enough grass for animals.
  • It's legal to farm: livestock and growing food are allowed, and no covenant forbids them.
  • You can hold it: a clean title, or a written lease long enough to build on.

The V-Farms pick

  • A house for the person who comes.
  • About 20 acres or more, and 40 or more is better, depending on the place.
  • Room to run your own thing.
  • A setting with a draw: a river, views, somewhere you could build something worth the trip.
  • Potential for guests: farm stays, a rental, events.

What we never do

  • Take money from the people selling or leasing the farms.
  • Promote planned communities. Here's why.
  • Grade farms pass or fail. Each farm shows its facts, and you decide.
