Hey I’m 27 and looking to start a life as an organic farmer. I grew up in Orwigsburg, Pennsylvania I’ve studied business at Arizona State University I’m an Eagles fan. What I lack in experience I make up for in tenacity and very quick learning. I have family friends who have farmed for generations I could lean on for advice. In my mind a perfect day would be waking up taking care of the land I work and going to bed tired. Please give me a chance and you won’t regret it, thank you for reading this.

I have 3 years experience working on established organic vegetable farms and 1 year experience running a small 1/2 acre vegetable farm on my own. I want to continue growing vegetables for direct-to-consumer sales or a CSA. I love being part of a community of people that love and care about food, and I want to continue building community through food wherever I land.

I am a journey farmer. I have worked on two farms in the last three years developing m skills and knowledge. I am interested in finding land where I can begin a small operation to grow vegetables, berries, fruit and raise livestock (Layers, broilers, pigs, rabbits etc.) My goal is to first improve the conditions of land by using permaculture designs, agroforestry integration, and regenerative practices to improve soil, water and biodiversity. I am aiming to produce a succession of annual and perennial crops that can be converted into value=added products and utilize the space so that it can be attractive holistically with the opportunity for stackable enterprises. I am looking to secure approximately 3 to 40 acres to begin this journey with the help of family, friends and close farmer relationships.

Goumi Grove is a planned specialty fruit farm and research-focused orchard centered on goumi (Elaeagnus multiflora) and other underutilized perennial fruit crops suited to Pennsylvania. I am seeking a rural property where I can establish several acres of orchard plantings, evaluate cultivars and low-input growing methods, and eventually develop a small seasonal U-pick operation alongside limited on-farm sales and value-added production such as fruit purées, frozen products, sorbets, and preserves. The goal is to build a practical, financially sustainable farm that introduces consumers and local food businesses to uncommon, climate-resilient fruits while documenting which varieties and production methods perform best in our region. I am particularly interested in properties with existing agricultural infrastructure, good water access, privacy and tree buffers, suitable well-drained orchard ground, and enough space for future processing, storage, and customer parking.

We are 3 families wanting 3 homes and a large barn on one piece of land. This will be for personal, work and ministry use. We all have experience in growing our own vegetables, working with horses rabbits goats dogs and chickens. We are experienced in carpentry, electrical work and technology. I’m a certified life coach and counselor and both my daughters are teachers. We would like to create this as a haven for healing trauma victims and others that need spiritual emotional and physical healing. We do this through prayer, counsel and guided time working outdoors, spending time with us and the animals. We would love to eventually have a one bedroom cottage where people can actually stay for a whole weekend to be ministered to as well. Quite possibly would create a hybrid school or other business use in the barn if possible to provide income to support all of this and in order to offer trauma healing sessions for little to no cost.

I’m a Navy veteran, father, and land steward with hands-on experience in agroforestry, orchard and forest care, regenerative agriculture, beekeeping, tree crops, habitat restoration, and farm education. I completed the Rodale Institute Veteran Farmer Training Program and have continued building practical experience through work with orchards, perennial systems, forest stewardship, pollinator habitat, tree propagation, harvesting, and community education. My goal is to build a small, diversified family farm and stewardship business centered around trees, bees, perennial food systems, native habitat, and responsible land management. I’m especially interested in orchards, chestnuts and other tree crops, nursery production, beekeeping, agroforestry, and creating a property that can support both our family life and meaningful ecological work. Long term, I want the farm to be financially practical, educational, resilient, and connected to the surrounding community, while also creating opportunities to help other landowners and veterans develop practical land-based skills, purpose, and stronger relationships with the land.
