I'm looking for 3-10 acres to start a small organic farm and artist's homestead. Leasing, work trade or woofing

My goal is to find land to start a small scale organic farm where I can grow vegetables, herbs and flowers and have chickens for myself and the local community markets. I plan to use earth friendly sustainable building methods for dwellings and other structures.  This is something I've loved to do in various places and now plan to begin in Southwestern Colorado.  I've done some high altitude gardening and would like to gain more experience with different methods.  My intent is to provide healthy food and living choices. I'm also an artist so am always creating as well.  I am open to land purchase as well as other options.  Photos available upon request.

Equipment and Infrastructure Details

The infrastructure does not need to be in place but would be helpful. A well or water rights, Electric, and useable land is what I'm looking for and the ability to farm, build sustainably...such as with solar, thermal mass and some natural building materials so need to have HOA and codes that allow for those things.
