20 acres of land that used to be farmed for hay. Not currently in production, but the acreage is cut once/year to maintain brush. A small stream and active spring are available on the property that can be used for irrigation. Currently there are no structures on the land, however, we are willing to build infrastructure to suit (lease only). There is a tractor available for use. We have plans to revive the land back into production through regenerative/permaculture practices and want to partner with like-minded farmers to help kickstart the process.

The “farmable” area – consists of about 20 acres of fenced pasture, the land is gently sloping, perfect for livestock production. Most of the property is forested and in conservation easement (which does allow limited timber and firewood harvesting). Buildings and infrastructure include: a large spring-fed pool, the tractor shed (20′ x 30′ timber frame), the 1-2 bedroom farmhouse, my 86 year old mother’s home, a large converted barn that serves as a summer rental, the workshop (another 20′ x 30′ timber frame that is insulated and heated), the 7 stall working barn, and the equipment shed (20′ x 50′ timber frame lean-to) – which is not included in the conservation easement. This farm has been in our family since the early 1900s. My grandfather became a “gentleman” farmer after retiring and raised chickens and turkeys. That infrastructure is long gone and the “farming” we’ve done since then has consisted of large gardens, small scale maple syrup, and nearly 50 years of small scale beef production (3-4 head a year). The future of the farm is unclear. My mother would like to stay there as long as she can and is quite capable of handling a lot of the property maintenance on her own. I live out of state and typically spend about a week each month on the property helping with maintenance and the inevitable “special projects” that pop up…e.g. dealing with the aftermath of the Emerald Ash Borer or replacing the barbed wire fence with hi-tensile electric. We’d like to find a farmer or farmers – maybe a couple with one working off-farm until their farm plan has time to mature – to come pursue their dream and, in the process, help us maintain and improve the property. Leasing to own isn’t out of the question, but not something we can guarantee at this point. The farmers could take over the small beef cattle operation, raise other small livestock, produce eggs, add high tunnels/green houses (likely with our financial support), bring in school groups or ecotourists, raise native plants, expand the maple syrup operation, raise honey bees, sell firewood, selectively harvest and sell rough cut lumber…it seems to us there are all sorts of things the farm could support.

27 tillable acres with approx. 5 acres of woods. Following organic standards since 2002 but not certified. 2.5 acres have been used for mixed vegetable crops in recent years. 2 acres were used for rotating laying hens and broilers. The remaining acreage has been fallow for several years. Farm sale outlets include CSA, farmers markets and specialty wholesale. We have also hosted high-end farm to table dinners. This land has been stewarded by the same family for 100 years and has had small scale dairy, beef cattle and grain production in the past. The current generation is ready to provide a new family the opportunity to establish, grow and create their own history on this well-loved land. Location and surrounding community are exceptional for sales of premium farm products, agritourism, and farm / nature-based education programs.

Recently purchased an 18 acre parcel of farmland. Looking for an ambitious person to lead the effort toward a successful sustainable farm. The land has been leased in the past but has been fallow for 2 seasons. I believe the previous tenants grew corn or beans or both.

Farmland is currently in hay fields. Total land including woodland is 56 acres with 20 of that being farmland. At one time it was a dairy farm, but the barn has been converted out of dairy production to equipment storage. This is a 4th generation farm and is enrolled in the farmland preservation program. My family lives in the farmhouse and there are 2 rental houses available on the property that could be rented to a farmer/tenant.

The ideal tenant would possess a deep passion for all things regenerative agriculture, a strong desire to learn and grow with the farm, and the desire to bring new life/new ideas into an old farm. Currently exploring long-term rental arrangements with the right tenants.

This 50 acre property in Perkiomenville, PA was historically run as a pig farm and has been managed under organic or chemical-free practices. It features a stable, four sheds, four wells, and approximately 20 acres of pasture suitable for continued grazing or crop production, plus a small wooded area. The owner will remain on-site or nearby to help oversee operations but has no specific conservation requirements. The existing infrastructure can be adapted for livestock, vegetable cropping, or a mix of both, and these organic-friendly conditions could streamline any formal certification process.

Family farm that was used for small scale beef cattle farming as well as hogs and chickens. Tillable acreage is approximately 13 1/4 acres. The rest of the property has been timbered. Fields have been used for vegetables, hay, and corn and most have fencing around them. This farmette would be great for horses as it includes many trails suitable for riding.
