Farmer Acreage: 1-10 acres

Entering Farmer #20518

I’m a 49 year old woman with a lifetime of experience gardening and caring for horses and small livestock. I’m currently practicing permaculture and “homesteading” on my small <0.25 acre residential lot in downtown Lititz, PA.
My dream is to run an inclusive Care Farm for children on a larger plot that will be accessible to children of ALL abilities. Care farming is the therapeutic use of farming practices to provide health, social, and educational services for people in need.
While only a small portion of the farm will be directly used for growing crops (around an acre), the rest will be used as pasture for grazing animals and/or left natural to enrich the ecosystem. I'm particularly looking for land opportunities in the southern portion of the state.

I grew up in Cranberry Township on 10 acres when it was still farm land – born in the early 70s with cows as neighbors on 2 sides. I only ever knew well water and raw milk direct from our local farmer friend. My family had two small gardens but enough to feed 5 for summer with about 10 rows of corn, which us kids mostly seeded, watered, weeded, harvested. I would say we grew about 10 to 12+ different types of vegetables. We often went to local farms for apple,picking and took them to the local cider press (Sally’s) to watch them, be pressed into our own cider. My parents both hunted until my mom had children, and we hunted to sustain winter since we did not grow up with a lot of money.

I went from that life pretty directly to corporate world at age 19 through 52 and I much preferred the former life. I enjoy being more in tune with nature, more time outdoors, more self-sustaining, and of course, more tomatoes!

As back up, I have my best friend from high school and her husband who own a beyond organic (even more stringent practices) orchard/cidery and have degrees in horticulture and agriculture. I consider them experts in going in above and beyond in their practices of organic farming and living.

I would love to start learning more and am ready to start up and find land.

I am a 29 year old father of three with a girlfriend soon to be wife. I have always wished I grew up on some type of farm but was really only able to work jobs once and again on them. I am aspiring to own my own goat farm, using them for grazing services and milk products and possibly get into the meat industry. I have been planning this for years now and am beyond ready to dive into it. My family would also be helping me with this adventure so I already have a couple “employees”. (Haha) This is a dream for not only me but my family. Just want to earn a living ourselves and provide a simple but yet bountiful life for our family.

We would love to sell at a market or create a small farm shop to sell out of to include other handmade items such as woodwork, hand sewn, , sourdough products, bakery items, jellies etc. my husband grew up in the country where his family owned cattle, chickens, pigs,. I am skilled at sewing and can make almost anything from scratch. My husband is a skilled carpenter, was a welder all his life by trade.

I am a wife, homeschooling mom, and small business owner. I have volunteered on a horse farm for a year and grown a small garden. After much research, I want to start a herd of Nigerian Dwarf goats. I’m looking to use the goat milk for personal use, but mostly for establishing a Goat Milk Skin Care products business. I’m looking for a farm on approximately 5 acres with a house for my family, barn/shed for goats, land for growing vegetables, and a farmstand for selling vegetables, goat milk skin care products, and more.

My wife and I are seeking a long-term opportunity to live and manage a small, diversified farm or homestead, ideally one in transition to new caretakers. I’ve managed and worked on educational and organic farms across New England—most recently at the Good Life Center and Four Seasons Farm in Maine—and have several years of experience with vegetable growing, small livestock care, and farm stewardship. My wife is a teacher, writer, and experienced farm caretaker who has helped raised goats and tend gardens.

We’re drawn to farming as a way of life that blends care for the land with community and creativity, and we’re hoping to find a place where we can grow into long-term stewardship alongside those ready to pass their work on.
