The goal of this farm is to become an educational center, to learn and share ecologically balanced practices that promote sustainable agricultural and conservation of natural resources. This is an opportunity for beginning farmers to explore, practice, and create their own self supporting, diversified enterprises. Two barns, a mix of hayfield, pasture, pond, and mountain top woods opens the land to many possibilities. The right farmer/s will be able to expand their own dream on this shared land which will be secured for future generations through a land trust with a supporting non-profit board. Farming Method: Permaculture “See http://bit.ly/Land2Share for more info.”

We are looking to fill an organic vegetable position. We previously had an individual who farmed our land and developed a CSA with about 35 customers. His CSA customers may still be available. There are about 2 acres that he worked but more are available and there is water on this acreage. A shed is available for storage of equipment, but no housing is available. We are located in Avella PA about 35 miles south of Pittsburgh. We also have an area that we used to house about 250 organic layer chickens that is available. Land usage is free in exchange for vegetables/CSA share options. Owners are open to and have land available for other ideas in addition to vegetable production.

My property has been farmed over the past 5+ years in both corn and soybeans and I am interested in having a farmer come in with long-term goals in mind with a focus on sustainability. Will consider discussions with farmers looking to crop, raise livestock, and/or produce vegetables. The farmed area represents 13 acres. The land is in the Sweet Valley area and easily accessible off a main road. The land slopes downhill to a wood line before a steep decline to a creek. Soil types are WIC and OID. I am looking for a rent or lease agreement. There is a large bank barn and well for water access that I would consider to be included in any agreement.
