Looking for land to lease in Sussex

[Merry Fitzpatrick]

Hello,
I am an organic/ chemical free flower grower looking for land to lease in Sussex. I started my own business this year, however, the farm I was growing on is looking like it may need to sell. I am keen to continue developing my business so please get in touch if anyone has any unused land in either east West Sussex or west East Sussex (I am Brighton-based). Growing flowers mainly through min till, a possible lease would support the pollinators on a farm, improve soil health and be fairly self sufficient (only access to water needed). Alternatively, if you know of any landowner that may be interest that would also be helpful.
Thanks a lot,
Merry

I can't help but an idea on min/max area might help... Nice, fertile, well drained, friable soil that is fit for soil grown, min till flowers and has a water supply is rarely the sort of ground that is left "unused". To give you an idea on rent, on that sort of ground you are competing with SFI AHL1 which pays £740/ha/yr (before costs)...

Thanks. Meant to include area of 1-2 acres, so v affordable at that scale. A water tank is what i used on current farm and would suffice again providing it was moveable/ refillable. Soil quality can be worked round with raised beds to a degree.. just putting out initial feelers as leases on the market are non existent round here but plenty of large landowners who may have a small unused corner thats suitable.
