Farmer Acreage: Up to 100

Entering Farmer #20409

I have been working as a hired farm manager of a beef operation for about 10 years, and had 5 years of farm hand experience prior to that. I am looking to connect with landowners to purchase and/or lease land in the area to expand on my cow/calf Simmental herd that my wife and I just started on our own in 2020.

My husband and I started our herd of Simmental beef cattle in November 2020 and have been renting land to raise them on, but are looking to potentially expand and would need more land to do so. My husband has approximately 10 years of experience with being a farm manager for other farm owners, and around 5 years as a farm hand previous to that. I have been helping him manage our herd since we acquired our animals.

No farming exp. Built two hydroponic garden systems. I’m an entrepreneur, looking into starting a farm and agritourism business in a county outside of Philadelphia. I did full-desk recruitment for two years managing 500k/yr in business, bringing in new accounts and filling the job requisitions, then worked at a nonprofit called For Our Future.

My plan is to find land to manage a farm, hedge bad harvests with hydroponic farming centers, and use any extra land to offer spots for Vegan food trucks, flower picking, and a skatepark. I’d like to change the way folks view vegan food and make beef and chicken less of a staple in American consumer’s diets.

Seeking mentorship and land.

We are Ryan and Anya Hanna, a young(ish!) couple and aspiring farmers looking to establish an agroforestry farm in our home of Adams County. We are passionate about regenerative agriculture and agroforestry, and plan to create a perennial polyculture system centered on tree and woody shrub crops. We’ve presented our robust business plan to several local lenders, our local economic development office, and our local land conservancy (we plan to preserve our farm), and are pleased that they have all been very supportive of our vision. We are also currently enrolled in the AgBiz Masters Program with Horizon Farm Credit. 


We are targeting around 40 acres in active or fallow row crop, orchard, or pasture (some wooded areas also OK), within Adams County. While we would prefer to purchase, we are also open to a long-term lease of 35 years or more, and are happy to explore other creative arrangements, such as occupancy rights that would allow the current owner to remain in their home for as long as they’d like. We would love to share more details about what we are looking for, along with more information about us and our vision. 

As is the case for many aspiring farmers, land access is proving to be our biggest challenge. We are looking forward to partnering with a seller whose vision for the future of their land aligns with our own, and who is interested in helping the next generation of young farmers put down roots. Any support you may be willing to provide will be deeply appreciated. The best way to get in touch with us is at AdamsAgroforestryEnterprises@gmail.com, or at (8 four 5) – 9 eight 7- two 761. Thank you!

I am 22 years old and have 3 years of regenerative farming experience. I have worked on a farm on Lopez Island, Washington where I learned about rotational grazing of cattle, market gardening, and commercial compost production. Next, I worked on a farm in Havre de Grace, Maryland where I grew veggies and berries in a 2 acre market garden, rotationally grazed cattle, sheep, and chickens, raised pigs in the woods, and even had my own personal dairy cow and taught myself how to make cheese. Finally, I worked on a market garden in Sellersville, Pennsylvania where I learned a bit more about the business side of operating a farm.
I would love to have my own farm one day to grow veggies in a market garden style, graze livestock in a rotational system (cattle, chickens, pigs, sheep), and would also like to have some dairy cows (would be interested in starting a small creamery). I am looking for a piece of property where I could make my farming dreams a reality and live on the property, too. It would be nice to take over a farm that someone is no longer interested in farming and eventually buy in from them. Since I am young and have been farming, I do not have the capital to buy a piece of land outright.
