Land Share Agreement

OSALT- Urban Farm Collective agrees to:

Be courteous and respectful when working on private property.

Avoid the use of pesticides, herbicides or chemical fertilizers.

 If the UFC chooses to conduct soil tests for nutrient levels or contaminants on the Land Sharer’s land, we will do so at our own expense and share the results.

Apply for any qualified and applicable property tax exemptions.

 OSALT carries general liability insurance for our activities and will add the land sharer’s property address to our policy.

Provide land sharer with 100 barter bucks (slugs) per season to be redeemed at our weekly barter market from June 1 st -October 31 st at the St. Andrews church, Monday evenings, from 6pm-7pm. Barter bucks expire at the end of each season; they do not accumulate from season to season. If land sharer does not redeem slugs for food, their share of the harvest will be donated to the local food pantry.

 Get land sharer’s permission for the installation of any permanent structures, including fruit trees.

Provide land sharer with a schedule of events taking place on the land sharers premises.

Land Sharer agrees to:

Grant exclusive permission to the UFC and its members to farm designated areas of their property.

Allow UFC members generally unrestricted access during normal day light hours so that the garden may be maintained actively and productively.

Avoid the use of pesticides, herbicides or chemical fertilizers where they can drift into the UFC garden areas or water.

When water source is available, land sharer agrees to provide water to the garden in exchange for 100 barter shares of the harvest.

Land will be transformed into food gardens at the UFC’s expense. We estimate that each new garden installation costs approximately $500; monies come from our fund raising efforts as we are an allvolunteer run, non-profit organization. If the Land Sharer shares our values and wishes to supplement the UFC’s efforts by contributing to these expenses, they may do so with bushels of gratitude.
