I grew up on a small family dairy farm and have loved agriculture all my life. I’m 32 now, married with four children and am looking for an opportunity to lease a farm to do grassfed dairy.

My name is Alec Greeley. I got my start farming in New Hampshire in 2015 as a farmhand for a successful CSA in the town right where I grew up. In 2018 I moved to Jersey to live with my then girlfriend, now wife, and continued working for a diversified fruit and vegetable CSA in Pittstown. There, I gained even more experience on all levels of the enterprise, first as a field hand then the wash barn manager, and finally the assistant field manager. Currently, I’m finishing a horticulture degree at Delaware Valley University. I’ve also had a few seasons experience with raising chickens for meat and eggs and goats for meat here in Pennsylvania. Growing healthy and simple foods is my greatest passion in life. Since the first time working on a farm I’ve dreamed about living on and running my own operation. I’m hoping my time studying horticulture will enable me to make informed decisions about not only the plants I grow but also all species on the future farm. I firmly believe a worthwhile farm will aim to be a part of a healthy agroecosystem by replenishing nutrients and supporting both farm and non farm life. As far as business plans go I think it is very important to create something very site specific and so remaining flexible is critical. However, I’m interested in and have the most experience with organic vegetable and fruit production and pasture raised chicken and goats. Some structures I’m interested in include CSA’s, wholesale (I do have some local connections that could help with this), even education and agrotourism. There needs to be more farmers and gardeners in my opinion and I have a good amount of experience in college and on the various farms I’ve worked teaching the public and training workers on sustainable farming methods. This is an aspect I’d really try to work into whatever business model is ultimately pursued.

I’m looking for a dairy farm to work in to ownership. I have 18 years experience working on dairy farms including being a herdsman on a 650 cow dairy and for the last 7 years have ran and managed a 50 cow dairy. I’m very good with cows, crops, and operating equipment. Due to the location of the farm I’m currently running and the distance to the surrounding farms we may not have a milk hauler in the future so I am hoping to get a farm of my own in a better area. I’m open to most any offers, just would like to start something while I’m still young enough to justify the input.

Hi, I am a young farmer who works on my father’s organic dairy farm. We are interested in expanding our organic farm with some cash cropping. On our farm we integrate many conservation practices focusing on healthy soil life and biology.
