Farmer Information:

I’ve been farming for family and friends for over thirty years, mostly conventional row cropping with a few animals here or there.

My goal is to have an organic beef herd utilizing regenerative agricultural techniques. Red Devon would be my breed of choice. I’d further like to incorporate the use of other animals to balance the farm ecosystem out, thereby minimizing the wear and tear on the soil, and rebuilding the soil to healthier place with grazing animals.

I would like to incorporate crops that are under-utilized, such as flax for linen, that could provide a profitable niche.

Depending upon the location, I would like to market the products as locally as possible, but I have contacts that would be willing to purchase direct.
I’ve seen the expense of the equipment treadmill, and I would like to get away from that, and build a more sustainable business that doesn’t have such high input costs.

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.

Interested in: Crops, Dairy, Livestock

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.
