Farm in the Pocono Mountains of PA is seeking an entrepreneurial farm manager to lead the transformative journey of a 300-acre farm of mixed woodlands and pasture into a model of sustainable regenerative organic agriculture. Our vision is to build from the ground up, a diverse environment for plant and animal species grounded in Regenerative Organic farming methods with the goal of achieving Regenerative Organic Alliance certification for our farm and products with a focus on soil health, animal welfare, and social fairness.
We are deeply committed to producing and maintaining the highest level of land stewardship while becoming a profitable regenerative organic farm. Our vision also includes developing the farm as an educational destination for regenerative organic agricultural practices which focus on soil renewal, agroforestry systems, permaculture, and the full farm ecosystem. The farm is backed by strong financial support and passionate, creative owners. This is an incredibly unique opportunity for a hands-on manager with a passion for regenerative organic agriculture to join our team and make an immediate and lasting impact.
One large freestanding barn exists with water and electric available. Several large outbuildings are scattered across the property with well water access and electric available. We expect to invest in the existing buildings as well as build new pole barns on the property as needed. All buildings are currently suitable for either livestock, equipment storage, and feed storage.
Livestock are not currently located on the property but expect to invest in heritage breeds in a variety of animals (ex. Highland cattle).
Electric and water are accessible throughout the buildings on the property.
Approximately 25 acres of the property is currently fenced with plans to invest in additional fencing for livestock programming needs.
Several tractors are available for use and we expect to purchase additional equipment as the farm needs require.
My wife and I just moved to Hanover PA just north of the MD state line.
We have 10.4 acres and we want to find a farmer that can work approximately 6 acres of land. The property is very open and gets full sun, very few trees. Land is clear and ready to be utilized for farming. Previously used for crops but not recently.
Owner would prefer farmer leasing to utilize more organic/natural methods of farming.
Lease option.
The property’s 89 acres span both sides of a state-maintained, paved road.
A bank barn is located directly across from the house and is surrounded by approximately 10 acres of pasture with a cow pond.
The 2 BR, 1 BA 2-story house has newer metal roof/siding/windows and is in very good condition. There is propane heat with a newer hot air furnace, as well as electric radiator panels in the kitchen and living room as an alternative. A wood stove could be added in the basement or living room. Off the entry is a bonus room that could be made into an extra bedroom with a bath.
A neighbor makes hay from the pasture and has monitored and amended the soil as needed. Behind the house is 40 acres of pasture and woodland. Additional acreage includes conservable meadow, fen/wetland and bog. The pasture was planted with hedgerow trees and warm season grasses while enrolled in a USDA conservation program from 2011-2022. Approximately 15 acres of woodland is located at the far back of the parcel, which has been logged sustainable using a consulting forester, most recently in 2020.
The valley is a mix of legacy family farms and farmettes with cattle, goats, horses, corn and soybean crops. Some Plain Sect families own properties in the immediate area, but most do not farm.
It would be great to make this a working farm again.
Sale–prefer conventional bank loan or cash. The right buyer will have a plan and money lined up.
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.
