Hi, Folks!

I’m looking at a 7 acre property that doesn’t have a water source (unusual in Southeastern PA).  It has a well for the house, but nothing else.  Should we dig another well for irrigation?  Should we gather the water that flows to the bottom of the property into a pond?  If we do a well, should we have a holding tank and if so, how big?

 

I’m interested in what type of water source everyone else here accesses to water their crops.  Should I just look elsewhere?  This property is on a major road, so has great farm stand potential.

 

Thanks for your input.
