Help Us Find New Land! This is a BIG DEAL!

We started the farm in July 2008, and even though we haven't even finished our first whole calender year we are already looking for a new location. We are pretty sure that we will be able to finish our season where we are, but the fact is our current land arrangement hasn't been stable for quite a while. We are very sad about it and wish that we could work things out, but it is better that we just find a new place to go.

Bootstrap Farm is looking for a new home! We don't have much time either! In order to really prepare the soil for next year and get a cover crop in over the winter, we need to start tilling up the soil right now. We have to find land before the fall. Yikes!

Our search for a new place to farm has not been very successful yet, and we need everybody to help! We need you to call friends and relatives, ask anybody who might know somebody who owns some flat ground suitable for farming. Good farmland can be hard to find in Oklahoma! The only way to find it is by word of mouth.


We have been looking for land in the following counties: Tulsa, Wagoner, Rogers, Creek, Okmulgee, Mayes, Payne, and Pawnee and we are open to locations elsewhere. We are concentrating on these counties because of their proximity to our market and because their geology makes them more likely to have at least some good farmland. For the most part the good land is old alluvium near creeks and rivers, but sometimes you'll find it in other places.

Here are our search criteria:

• At least 8 contiguous acres, but preferrably 15 or more.
• Few Trees (we don't want to doze a forest for a farm)
• Flat, well drained soil such as loam, silt loam, or sandy loam.

Thats really about it! Even finding those few qualities can be tough. We are interested in buying OR doing a cash lease as long as the lease can be long term. If you know of a property that might be suitable that is for sale or lease send us an email or call Don at 918-812-2671. We are pretty flexible and can probably work something out as long is the soil is suitable. If you are curious about the soil at a particular spot you can check it out at the NRCS Web Soil Survey (that's what we use).


Thank You For Your Help,

Don and Chelsea
