Dairy Farm For Sale
- Maryland, United States
Add this business to my shortlist
|
- Business description
- This “For Sale by Owner” dairy farm produces 3,000 gallons of milk per day. There is access to a private air strip on an adjacent 40 acre parcel that may be for sale. Some of the surrounding farms have entered into an agreement with the county, state and the local land preservation group to restrict residential development; however the present owner of this dairy farm is leaving that decision for the new owner that will take over this dairy. They have already declined a substantial offer for their acreage. They would prefer a new owner to continue as a dairy farm. They milk 400 head daily and raise most of their own herd with an additional 300 heifers for replacement milking cows. The majority of the farm land is used to grow silage for feed with access to additional lands to rent for the same purpose. This is a great business opportunity for someone to carry this farm to the next level with the growth potential that is available here. Call now to determine the direction you would like to take. Our representatives are eager to help.

- Location:This is a 400 acre dairy farm with 3 houses on the property currently used by the farm hands. The present owners home and approximately 4-6 acres will not be part of the sale. The exact amount of land they will keep will be determined as the sale of the dairy farm is negotiated. The property has a panoramic view from one end to the other of rolling hills and pastoral lands. A vineyard is next door and other farms abut them.
- Expansion potential:Growth and expansion could be obtained by selling the replacement herd and just purchase replacements as needed to lower the outlay of investment capital. Out buildings can be expanded and along with the current milking system one could double the milking capacity. Embryo transplant business could be created for additional profit centers. A retail dairy business could be established because the county has already been given the OK for ice cream production and other dairy products. The growth potential is unlimited.
