We are looking for underutilized farm land to grow hazenuts on plus call home. I have over 40 years expierence working with ornamental plants and turf management. Currently myself and Michelle brooks manage 2 seperate orchards that are fully planted and are looking to expand. We have a full busniss plan in place. I am also one of three founding memebers of a cooperative in which all local farms growing hazelnuts will be able to sell their harvest to. The co=op will then process and distribute several diffrent hazelnut products. The key things needed for a hazelnut orchard is deer fencing and land that is not overly wet.

I am a beginning farmer that has a background in food service. I am particularly interested in permaculture and agrotourism. I’d like to work with other farmers/landowners who are particularly interested in heirloom and specialty produce and developing relationships with restaurant owners/food businesses. Secondary to that, I would also like to either start a CSA or help continue an existing CSA and possibly incorporate community-building activities as well; such as work-share programs, art sessions on the farm, guest chef dinners, etc. I’m also interested in maintaining/helping someone maintain a agrotourism business, such as a hipcamp spot, cabin, or bed and breakfast using produce grown on site.

I have experience with pigs and laying hens, would like to gain experience with sheep, horses/donkeys, and other poultry as well. I also have experience with small-scale organic vegetable production (less than 10 acres).

My homestead was created in 2021 as a livestock breeding program; however, it’s morphed into providing livestock education and interaction to my local community with the herd animals by providing cuddle sessions, special events, and family photography onsite. I’m looking for continued opportunities to expand business operations, marketing strategies, and increased education.

My name is Cheryl. I am 41 years old. For most of my life I owned a small farm and auto repair business. I worked as a mechanic during the week, and taught riding lessons on the weekend. And in my spare time I worked as a trail guide for a ranch for over 30 years. Everything ended when covid shut me down. I lost my company and my farm. The ranch has since closed as well. I have always been interested in the homestead lifestyle and starting my own horse trailer riding business. I am trying to find a farm owner willing to work with me on purchasing a farm.

Ideally looking for 5-10 acres in the Adams County area, preferably Fairfield or surrounding areas such as Orrtanna, Gettysburg; however will consider larger if within budget. Small farm property for horses, possible boarding and training business- current horse owners and daughter (currently in high school) planning equine vet career in college, so this would be a multigenerational farm to be passed down. Would like to incorporate a small agribusiness venture if possible, depending on location and zoning or a complimentary farming opportunity on property for crop production or hay production. Can be unimproved land, property needing clean up or work or current use. Ability to build one home eventually on property would be a bonus, but not required. Would love to find a property that was once used for horses and needs updating to bring it back to life and continue to be farm property instead of being developed!

I’m an aspiring young farmer committed to building a long-term, sustainable operation that I can live on and grow over time. My vision is to start with laying hens, meat goats, bees, and diverse vegetable crops, with a focus on regenerative practices and ethical animal care.

My goal is to create a productive, hands-on farm that supports both myself and my local community — eventually expanding into a full-time livelihood rooted in stewardship, hard work, and connection to the land. I’m looking for an opportunity to begin small, learn continuously, and develop a thriving farm I can call home for years to come.

I was disabled as civilian combat support with the State Department in Iraq after 5 consecutive tours. I’m expecting to be setteling a decade long workers comp claim this next year and want to purchase PA farmland and begin a small farm with horses and small livestock. I was born and raised in PA, served as a Philadelphia City Solicitor and attended Penn State Law.
I am a beginner farmer with little experience but the desire and perseverance to realize a lifetime dream. I love animals and my 15 yr old son is ready to assist me on the farm, so this is for his future as well. I would ideally prefer between 20 to 40 acres of land, but I’m very flexible. I should have around $1M from my settlement to dedicate toward the purchase of a a farm and/or land.

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.
