I grew up in Wayne county pa and worked a farm there for most of my youth. I’ve never been in a place to be able to own my own farm, but now that I have a family, my wife and I would love to be able to raise our girls to work the land. We are looking for space for us to be able to have our own goats, cows, chickens and crops.

My goals for farming is to continue to care for the land in a sustainable easy while providing nourishing products for the community. Growing up I always said I wanted to be a farmer and my first job was working at the local farmer’s market where I learned about local food and seasons. After college, I spent three years as an intern for a local organic CSA called Prescott’s Patch. Currently, I am a patent paralegal for the large equipment manufacturer Case New Holland.

My husband, Patrick, and I are looking for an opportunity to establish a multigenerational family farm in Pennsylvania. Our goal is not simply to acquire land, but to build a legacy farm that we can operate, improve, preserve, and eventually pass on to our son, who is currently eight years old. We would love for him to have the opportunity to grow up on a working farm and learn the responsibility, skills, and values that come with caring for the land and producing food.

We are particularly interested in connecting with an established or retiring farmer who may not have a family member who wants to continue farming. We would be very open to learning from an experienced farmer and creating a thoughtful transition or succession arrangement that allows their knowledge, experience, and agricultural legacy to continue into the next generation.

Our agricultural goals include growing clean, nutritious food and raising animals for meat and eggs for our family and, as the farm develops, for other families in our community. We are open to different types of farming and would like the land, existing infrastructure, and experience of the current farmer to help shape what is ultimately possible.

Although our professional backgrounds have primarily been in technology, real estate, construction, and business rather than traditional farming, we bring significant transferable experience. Patrick has a technology background and previously worked for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Treasury Department. I have approximately 20 years of experience in information technology, document imaging, records management, and systems architecture.

For the past ten years, we have also owned and operated successful real estate and construction businesses. Through those businesses, we have developed extensive hands-on experience in property rehabilitation and maintenance, construction, project management, budgeting, business operations, technology, logistics, managing employees and contractors, problem-solving, and overseeing multiple projects simultaneously.

We are hands-on owners and would expect to be actively involved in the farm’s day-to-day operation. We also understand that a successful agricultural operation may require employees, skilled farm workers, contractors, and experienced advisors, depending upon the size and type of farm.

Most importantly, we are willing to learn. We recognize the tremendous amount of knowledge that experienced farmers accumulate over a lifetime, and we would value the opportunity to learn from a retiring farmer during a transition rather than allowing that knowledge to disappear.

Our long-term goal is to build a financially sustainable working farm that produces quality food, provides opportunities for our family and others, responsibly cares for the land, and remains in agricultural use for generations to come.

Hi everyone,
My name is Rezart, I am a masters student here at Penn State University completing my masters in Supply Chain Management. I am a 6th generation farmer with a passion for regenerative agriculture and meat processing.
My family and I are looking to open a farm to retail meat store operation here in State College after graduation this coming May, 2027. We want to first start by finding a farm with considerable farm land (15+ acres) that is willing to lease so that we can start raising our own livestock before working on opening the meat store.
We are passionate young adults who love farming and care about the community here. We are educated and easy to work with so if you have something that you believe may be of value to us and matches what we are looking for, kindly reach out to us.
