Looking to lease land for 4 horses to stay on April thru October. Also would like to trail ride on the land and keep bees. I currently have 3 hives at my house but looking to expand. Would consider buying the land if price was right. I have both the horses and bees at my house on. 6 acres. Need more room and a place to ride.

Ideally looking for 5-10 acres in the Adams County area, preferably Fairfield or surrounding areas such as Orrtanna, Gettysburg; however will consider larger if within budget. Small farm property for horses, possible boarding and training business- current horse owners and daughter (currently in high school) planning equine vet career in college, so this would be a multigenerational farm to be passed down. Would like to incorporate a small agribusiness venture if possible, depending on location and zoning or a complimentary farming opportunity on property for crop production or hay production. Can be unimproved land, property needing clean up or work or current use. Ability to build one home eventually on property would be a bonus, but not required. Would love to find a property that was once used for horses and needs updating to bring it back to life and continue to be farm property instead of being developed!

My husband and I are military veterans who have been homesteading since 2018 when we purchased our current 2 acre property. In that time, we have honed our skills with growing fruits, vegetables, berries, and flowers. We also raise meat chickens, laying hens, started beekeeping, making tallow soap, teas, and pressed flower art.
While we love our home, we’re beginning to outgrow our current property and want to continue to build upon this lifestyle for ourselves and our young son. We have dreams of expanding into raising cattle and other livestock, having enough space to expand our beekeeping operation, grow produce, flowers, and create products to sell at a farm stand/markets.
We are very passionate about regenerative practices and have the drive and willingness to learn as much as we can. We’re just looking for the perfect opportunity and space to grow.

I am a US army veteran, but I am a lot of other things as well. I am a former Peace Corps volunteer (agriculture in Mali), I am a proud father of two young children, and I am a former 4-H kid. I want to return to the rural life and give my kids the life I had growing up.
Experience
– I grew up in a rural area and worked on a (small) farm doing intensive vegetable farming
– I was trained and successfully ran animal husbandry operations in Africa (goats and rabbits)
– I am business and computer savvy and have been working in the corporate world for 10 years
– I am trained in skilled in basic animal medicine (vaccines, basic medical care, etc). While I would not perform surgery, I do feel comfortable with day-to-day care and standard practice
– My wife is no slouch either, she was a former water sanitation Peace Corps volunteer (how we met), and has been working in the business world doing marketing (online and real world) since 2010.
What I am looking for
– A small plot of land for regenerative agriculture (40-100 acres)
– I intend to primarily focus on small food crop production and dairy production- note, due to the large number of cattle dairy producers in the area, we will focus on goat milk, goat milk soap, and goat cheese products.
