Norfolk County Land For Sale
Norfolk County land for sale is great for anyone who is looking to start a simple hobby farm or large-scale agricultural endeavor. For decades, the agricultural industry has been the primary mechanism behind the local economy in this area. Norfolk County used to be one of the largest producers of tobacco, but farmers had to start to diversify after the major decline in the demand for those types of products. More recently, it’s evolved to become one of the greatest suppliers of fruits, vegetables, and wines in all of Ontario.
Agritourism is just one of the ways that Norfolk County has tried to strengthen its food-production based economy. From farmers markets to historical property tours and wine-tasting routes, Norfolk County’s mild climate and lengthy growing season has helped them to become one of the most diverse county’s in southern Ontario.
The geography of Norfolk County is a little bit different than its neighbour to the west, Oxford County, as its terrain is a little more varied. Nearly 25% of the area is covered by dense woodlands, which most commonly occur near current or previously existing water sources, like streams and lakes.
Norfolk County is a great place to invest! With low property taxes and affordable properties for whatever use you need, plus the great proximity to several towns and like-minded communities, it’s easy to find the farm for sale in this area.
