NC Woman Looking to Give Away Farm in Essay Contest

NC (AP)(CNN)–A North Carolina woman is looking to give away the farm, quite literally.

The Associated Press reports Norma Burns, the owner of BlueBird Hill farm wants to give it away, to a couple who submits a winning essay.

Burns has run the farm for 18 years, but says she is ready to return to Raleigh. Before she does so, she wants to leave her farm in the hands of a “committed couple,” which is why she is calling for 200-word essays from people about why they want to own the 12.88 acre organic farm.

The deadline for entries is June 1, 2017.

There is a $300 entry fee.
