I have 12+ years of experience growing native plants and marketing them as food and medicine for humans, livestock, pets, and wildlife. I work as a consultant designing and installing regenerative ecosystems for landscaping, silvopasture, organic permaculture, aquaponics, and retail/restoration nursery stock. My mission in life is to create new models for symbiotic relationships that make the environment and humans more healthy. I am open to leasing land but my ideal situation is lease-to-own or to join an established, complementary operation looking to expand and diversify their vision.
My complete bio can be found here: https://www.revivingwisdom.com/about
Phase 1: I am looking for space to expand my organic native plant nursery operation. This can be done in a relatively small space but I am hoping for larger fields to grow local ecotype seed and live-stake stock. I will host educational workshops on-site as well.
Phase 2: I would like space to establish native plant demo gardens to inspire customers. I will also grow bulk medicinal herbs for the community.
Phase 3: I am interested in diversifying the operation with rows of native food forests to fold into packaged + preserved beverages, jams, etc.
Phase 4: Native food/medicine rows could be used for silvopasture operations in the future (dairy, wool, grass-fed meat, etc.), giving pasture-lands a break for regeneration.
Phase 5: As the team and operation expands, I am interested in many other models for sustainable, regenerative land use at the intersection of human + ecosystem value.
I am also open to taking on an existing operation (regenerative livestock, orchard, etc.) alongside my nursery business.

I am a hard worker who enjoys learning new and old methods of production. I love getting my hands dirty, lived near cow farms and mushroom farms my entire life so no smell adjustment needed. I also have experience with growing plants and limited work with animals(milking cows and getting chicken eggs and feeding them). I am a fast learner and very people oriented, I am also fairly good with marketing and business strategies, I am good at onboarding criticism. my weaknesses: I am stubborn, tend to work to exhaustion and I can be overly caring.

My wife and myself have been involved in agriculture our entire lives. We have both grown up and worked on various types of farms throughout the years. While I focused on row crops, she focused on raising animals, and when we got together it all seemed to mesh very well. We both attended Penn State University to further expand our education in agriculture.
We currently farm around 100 acres of rented crop land using primarily 100% no till methods. The main cash crops we raise are soybeans and winter wheat, and we have also done some experimentation growing fall decorations such as sunflowers, pumpkins, and Indian corn. When the cash crops are not growing, we plant cover crops (rye, oats, clover, radishes) in the off season to keep our soil covered. We firmly believe in cover cropping to protect and enhance soil and water quality. By using sustainable practices and treating every acre of land as if it were our own has led us to prosper and be profitable.
We are currently looking for more crop land, grazing land, and facilities to lease to expand our farming operation. It has always been our goal to live and work on a family farm. We hope to work with you and come up with a farm plan/agreement that is mutually beneficial.

I am currently a Livestock Nutrition Consultant for a supplement company, but I have previously worked in roles as a vegetable farmer, field technician, and livestock manager. All of these prior positions were held on organic farms.
I am looking to work into having a beef herd of my own. I would also be interested in operating a dairy, if the situation is right.
I currently have a few beef steers of my own, and help out on a dairy farm on most weekends.
I would likely have to keep my office position while I started the farm, so starting small-ish and local would be ideal. The office is located in Lancaster County, between Harrisburg and Lancaster city.

I’m 36 years old looking to get into farming. I grew up around it but my family doesn’t have large property. I’ve been working in seed research and am currently a technical agronomist for a seed company. We sell corn and soybean seed. In seed research I learned more about caring for the land through caring for the crops.

We are a family of four looking for more land to be able to raise a beef herd as well as pastured/woodlot pork and chickens. We currently raise woodlot pork and chickens on 7 acres. Having more acreage will give us that opportunity to expand.
