Farmer Acreage: 1-50 acres

Entering Farmer #20558

Grew up in my grandmothers garden that she always tended as my grandfather was a steel worker and layoffs were always unexpected. She always made sure that there was food available for any unexpected turn in life. I have some experience in my own garden but would love to expand that in a larger way for crop productions and possibly some animals in the future. Would also love to be able to expand in the future to a community space for people in the area to come learn about growing your own food and be able to exchange some casual labor for food!
I also have some experience in trail management for a natural preserve and maintaining native flora while combating invasive species. My mother is an herbalist and forager and it would be amazing to grow herbs that she could use for community medicine as well

My partner and I are looking for a piece of land to start homesteading on. We eventually would like it to be for our whole family so hopefully a place that we can grow and acquire more land.

I hope to continue or create a combination of productive and stewarded land use that serves as both a home and a community resource. Somewhere that supports food, culture, art, and care. I grew up in rural Midwest and have lived in the Philly for about 15 years. Now I’m ready to return to a more natural setting and deepen my connection to land and local community. I have experience with gardening and small-scale food growing, and I’d like to grow that into a collaborative effort with others who share similar values.

I work for the USDA and currently have chickens for eggs and want to start a hatchery of my own. I also would like to get into livestock. A previous assignment I worked in my career as an inspector, was on a cattle farm. I spent 6 years learning what I could from the farmers who cross breed double muscle cattle for the best quality of meat. I am also a student at Pennsylvania State University, I’m enrolled in Agricultural business marketing degree. My passion in life is Agriculture and I want to get into farming and being able to contribute to my local communities Agricultural programs

We are a family of 6 looking for a small farm. My husband is a third generation farmer. We desire this lifestyle because we believe it’s the best way to raise our kids to be outdoors and have a strong work ethic.
