Small Scale Farming Opportunity

The City of Urbana is seeking an agricultural tenant to lease 16.58 acres of land located at the intersection of Lincoln and Olympian Drives in un-incorporated Champaign County. All uses will be considered; however, the City envisions agricultural uses that will benefit the community including but not limited to specialty crop production, value-added product development, and/or educational farms. Priority will be given to uses that support the regional food economy, such as crops intended for direct human consumption, value-added product development for human consumption, and agritourism-related uses. Interested tenants are encouraged to submit proposals that represent the agricultural approach they believe would be most successful, even if it is not fully consistent with the desired outcomes described above. Please download the full Request for Proposals document that is included as an attachment.
