Farmer Acreage: Any Acreage

Entering Farmer #20555

Both sides of my family have been generational dairy farmers. Growing up, we had a livestock farm with sheep, pigs, cattle, and goats. My sisters and I would wake up early each morning before school to do chores, then get ready for school. We were involved in 4-H, and in college, I joined collegiate FFA. I went to Delaware Valley University for Accounting.

My husband now runs a grass-fed only beef farm.

I want to get back into pigs and chickens. I have been approached by many people who buy beef from us, asking about pork and chicken. We strive to be as organic as possible, using no herbicides or pesticides. People trust that we will continue to do that, continuing into hogs and chickens.

Hello my name is Hannah May! My husband Blake and I have been looking for a farm for a year or two now. But with being so young and wanting to get into farming it’s super hard. We have a 10 month son that we want to be able to raise on a farm. I grew up on a fifty acre farm in PA so I understand the value of living on a farm! My husband has been around agriculture his whole life as well! I raised and showed pigs, goats, sheep steer, and chicken. We had 60,000 which we raised for Purdue!
We would love the opportunity to be able to partner with a farmer.

I am seeking to learn how to farm to provide food to local communities and expand food availability. I have gardened and am an avid gardener. I have had flocks of quails and have not had true farming experience. I am seeking a smaller space or someone who would be willing to teach. I grew up in the city and have experience in corporate and hospitality.

My name is Nash Lawrence, and I’m the owner of Pittsburgh Pastures, a pasture-based poultry and livestock farm in Mars, Pennsylvania. After gaining experience on farms across the country, I returned home in 2023 to start Pittsburgh Pastures with a focus on raising non-GMO, pasture-raised chickens and eggs through regenerative and humane farming practices. We’re currently looking to expand to 1,000 laying hens and 7,500+ meat birds in the coming season. My goal is to find a property within an hour of Pittsburgh that includes housing, allowing me to live on the same land where I care for my animals and continue growing the farm sustainably.

I am a first generation farmer currently baling hay and raising dairy goats. I am hoping to get into corn, soybeans and wheat in the future. I farm a little over 100 rented acres and am hoping to keep slowly growing every year. My ultimate goal is to someday farm full time.

We are a dedicated couple searching for a farm property in Pennsylvania for a long-term lease, ideally with a lease-to-own option. Our goal is to build a diversified, sustainable farm that supports both our family and the local community with responsibly raised meats, fresh produce, and handmade goods.

Our vision includes:

A small herd of meat cattle for personal and local consumption

Meat chickens, laying hens, and meat rabbits, with plans to wholesale rabbit meat to local restaurants

Dairy goats for producing artisan cheeses, soaps, butter, and other goods

A robust garden for growing vegetables and herbs

A home-based operation crafting bread, soap, baked goods, and more

Sustainability, soil health, and ethical animal care are central to everything we plan to do. We’re committed to creating a regenerative farm that produces high-quality, local food while respecting the land.

A huge plus would be the ability to produce hay on-site—either for our own use or as part of a broader land stewardship plan.

We’re seeking a property with good pasture, reliable water, and room to grow—both literally and figuratively. Open to creative lease arrangements with landowners who value local food systems and sustainable agriculture.

Let’s build something rooted and resilient—together.
