I am aspiring to be a sustainable, organic, and regenerative farmer. I would eventually like to own a small herd of goats and sheep along with raising hogs, chickens, rabbits, and other poultry. I also would like to run a large market garden that grows organic produce to sell at local markets and through a CSA. Having the ability to do “pick your own” for produce like apples, peaches, berries, and vegetables is also on my goal list. I have been raising chickens and a garden for about 15 years (majority of my life). I have worked at multiple farms from working with equine to breeding sheep and goats.
I am looking for a farm where I can grow my experience and help the community. I would like to have enough pasture space to raise grass fed meats. I would also enjoy a space where I can create learning opportunities for the public, specifically children.

Engineering and bakery positions are currently held. With precision agriculture farming and bakery at the core of our ideas. A young couple with a plan to not depend on the commodity but to depend on the land. We hope to open our own farm and bakery, small scale, around 3 acres, with access for people, some wooded lot for firewood, and some to grow vegetable crops. We have experience with volunteering for 3 years and have grown our own crops across a variety of things. We are now saving capital to lease and require help. We wish to find like-minded people who can help us and us them when necessary to propel our future. And we believe Farm Link does just this. We have searched through the endless information, but Farm Link does it all. We hope to be able to discuss more.

My grandparents were cattle farmers however, the land that they lived and farmed was rented and was not available to me when they were no longer able to farm the land. I am looking for a farm lease that includes a home in order to carry on their legacy. I do not have much experience directly but am excited to learn. My goals would be to create a diverse farm to include livestock and gardening that I would then intern sell at local farmers markets or a small farm store on the land. Additionally, I would like to produce enough product to donate to local food banks to ensure that even those struggling are able to provide fresh, safe quality food to their families.

I am looking for a farmhouse/homestead set up. I have years of experience with livestock, poultry and am a penn state master gardener. I love gardening and would love to create a huge greenhouse, and grow medicinal and tea herbs. I also enjoy educating people about agriculture and sustainability. I recently left a DV situation with my children. One of whom is disabled and medically fragile, which is another driving factor for wanting to get back to a more natural lifestyle.

My name is Abbas Rasheed, and I have a background in international business. I have practical experience in logistics and distribution, and I’m now working on developing a small-scale sustainable farm in Pennsylvania. I have researched poultry and small livestock management in detail and have been preparing a startup plan focused on chickens and sheep, with a low-cost and that is well-suited for leased land.
I am looking to lease approximately 5 acres of farmland within driving distance of Philadelphia. The land will be used for raising a small flock of laying hens (around 200) for egg production and a small group of sheep (about 10) for grazing and seasonal sales. My goal is to run the farm in a clean, responsible, and sustainable way while maintaining the property well.

Currently live just outside of Philadelphia in Berwyn and looking for to lease 3-5 acres preferably in the surrounding area but willing to drive up to 1.5 hrs. Interested in longer term lease in order to set-up regenerative ag / agroforestry production system with emphasis on perennials , soil health, and biodiversity. I’m really interested in the idea of setting up a farm that improves the land and brings back biodiversity, while also being profitable, with lower input costs, and reliance on natural resources through improved nutrient and water cycles. Not looking to have any animals on the farm (at least to start)
I do not have currently have a farm (or any real practical experience), however have done a ton or research and am motivated to make it work. I’m only looking for a small farm to learn and develop an efficient production system. I now work in financial services in Philadelphia and have two small children that I think would benefit massively from being and working on a farm. Happy to discuss business / marketing plan at request.
