- Nutrient Management Plan
We borrow land from future generations. I became caretaker of these 80 acres, previously hay, beef cattle grazing, woods and wetland, when my in-laws passed away.
I want to leave the land better than I found it, so am seeking a like minded person/persons with commitment, but no land base of their own to caretake this land and grow your dream.
I want to help new farmers get started and gain experience without having the land investment. Prefer organic farming methods used.

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.
