We are a small family farm that focuses on producing pasture-raised poultry, eggs, and hay. This is our first year farming on the property we purchased a little over a year ago. Our aim is to offer a safe, sustainable, and healthy alternative to the products available at your local grocery store, which are often produced by industrial-scale farming operations. Eventually, we would also like to raise small herds of pastured beef. As a novice farmer, I am eager to network and learn from others who have established successful methods in pastured farming.

I worked for a couple years in the first AWA certified farm in the United States which sparked a love for sustainable agriculture for me. My siblings and I currently grow mushrooms and have a small poultry flock. We are looking to expand operations and need more land to be able to do it.

Recently retired computer geek, looking for a place where I can practice and experiment with Permaculture and Sustainability principles. Since no one in my family wants to leave the suburbs, then as soon as I find something (or even before that!) I will be looking become part of the other side of the database, and find someone(s) looking to take over when I’m gone.

Would happily join with folks who are into permaculture, sustainability, resilience, homesteading, prepping, alternative spiritual traditions, and general geekiness.

Would also like to teach/mentor “free and open software” (FOSS) principles and skills (Unix/Linux) and help compatible folks to use with all of the above. So also looking for high speed internet availability.

My husband and I are beginner farmers currently enrolled in the Beginner Farmer Training Program at Rutgers University. Currently we own a small farmette in Burlington County, New Jersey where we raise small stature dairy animals including registered Nigerian Dwarf goats and Miniature Cattle (Jersey’s and Belted Galloway-Dexter crosses). We also have pastured poultry and sell eggs to local customers. Recently, we have started a market garden where we grow vegetables intensively in a small space. I am a bread baker and will be applying for a cottage food permit in order to sell my bread along with the produce that we grow next season. Off of the farm, I work part-time as a pediatric nurse practitioner and my husband is a full-time machine operator for the local gas company. Growing up, my uncle had a beef operation in Potter County, Pennsylvania. Though he no longer actively farms, he still resides on the land and is our mentor. We are looking to purchase a larger farm property so that we can expand our current operation which would include beef and possibly a micro dairy in the future!

I am a 41 year old army veteran who has been learning about farming for the past 10-15years in many different ways. I started out volunteering at Kimberton CSA and have worked and volunteered at multiple vegetable farms in PA and VA. I also have some experience with sheep and pasture management. I’m currently finishing up the 9 month Veteran Farmer Training Program at the Rodale Institute. This program has greatly expanded my knowledge of farming and helped me to define my specific interests. My intention is to raise grass fed lamb. I would also like to explore grain production for human consumption and flax for fiber. I’m looking to start with a small flock of ewes but have enough space for the flock to grow.
