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.
1700’s stone farmhouse with 1800’s addition. Many recent upgrades include metal roof, seamless gutters, energy efficient windows, updated bathroom, water treatment system and new 200 amp electric panel. More work remains but quick move in is possible.
5 bedrooms, 1 bathroom.
Beautiful Bank barn with new metal roof, gutters and stained wood siding. 30×60 run in shed, pole barn garage, 40×60 enclosed pole barn.

Farm is served by a well water. Water lines reach the barns and field edges. Electric is modern and is in each building. The property does not currently use natural gas but the gas utility does run along the front road.
Well water spigot at both barns, edge of 2 fields. Electric is in each building. House has its own septic.
A well built, 8ft woven wire deer fence in excellent condition surrounds all crop fields and encloses most of the property.
Preference is for buyer to purchase the entire equipment inventory of 40hp tractor, 85hp tractor, and implements for vegetable growing. Also, 3 vintage tractors and vintage truck.
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.
