Farmer Information:

I am a 42 year old army veteran who has been learning about farming for the past 10-15years in many different ways. I started out volunteering at Kimberton CSA and have worked and volunteered at multiple vegetable farms in PA and VA.

I also have some experience with sheep and pasture management. I am a graduate of the Veteran Farmer Training Program at the Rodale Institute.

I am currently working with a non-profit whose mission is to bring the healing benefits of plants and nature to veterans and their families in the greater Philadelphia area. This year we are working with the Workforce Development program at the V.A. to give a few veterans the chance to explore working in agriculture at our sunflower field in North Philly.

I am looking for a property to start a vegetable farm that will allow me to offer expanded programming, work and most importantly, healing to more veterans in the coming years. Farming has added purpose to my life and given me a way to continue to serve. My intention is to share those benefits with others and to feed as many people as possible in the process.

Hello, I’m a farmer with a 26-year marriage and 2 sons. I’m looking for a farm (30 acres or greater) to put down family roots. I grew up actively farming 80 acres, with 5 years off for military service.  I have a strong mechanical/maintenance background, I was in 4-H beef club from 8-18, experienced with raising grain and hay crops, looking to expand into vegetables, and developing a CSA.

I’m well-employed in an 9-5 Federal job, have no debt, own my home, have an aggressive start on a down payment.  I’d like to develop a relationship with a farmer seeking to retire, but who’d like to pass on their tradition and allow me to maintain an operating budget as the ground is returned from fallow. My desire is to acquire a farm, not a potential development property, so I’m just fine with a few PA hills and groundhog holes.

We are a married couple with young kids looking for an opportunity to start farming. My grandparents were dairy farmers in Chester County and my cousins currently are dairy farmers in Montgomery County.

I currently work in the Conservation/Agricultural field in the Southeast/South Central part of the state. We don’t have much experience, several years working on several dairies and experience with processing/jugging milk, but I have always wanted to be a farmer and have a true passion for farming and agriculture.

Looking for a farming opportunity in which to gain experience, build equity, and the chance to raise our kids around a farm.

Housing on the farm would be preferred.
