Landowner #30156
My wife and I own a 4th generation farm, that has been in my family since 1945. It is roughly 60 acres of open field/crop land, and the other 45 wooded. It starts along the creek and goes upward with rolling hills to the foot of the mountain. We are currently leasing to a local farm family, however we are interested in trying our hand at some specialty products, as well as shopping around different ideas to generate some income. I’d also like to fix up and preserve the existing large barn, which the Harrisburg agency said is a four square bank barn built with first cut timber in the late 1700s.
Landowner Listing 30136
Farm is currently owned by a brother and sister in partnership. This farm has been in our family since around 1820 and we are the 6th generation to grow up on this former dairy farm. The total acreage is about 365 acres, but most of that is woodland. There are about 30 acres of flat, tillable land that would be ideal for high tunnel structures or vegetable production such as potatoes/garlic. There is a high deer population which limits types of vegetables grown. Land is currently rented for hay production, but we’re looking into a more sustainable and longer-term relationship that will keep the land in agriculture production. We recently completed a forestry plan through NRCS and will be doing invasive management for forested areas in the future. 12 fruit trees (apple, peach, pear) in the yard. 3-bedroom, 1.5-bathroom house is available for rent. Root cellar, functioning fireplace w/oil heat available, large kitchen.
