I am a 29 year old small-scale, regenerative farmer looking for land to lease or buy in Pennsylvania. I have my bachelors degree in Sustainable Agriculture and 10 years of experience farming, mostly in the realm of market-style farming.

I am seeking to build an organic, sustainable farm that I can grow food for my family and the surrounding community. Ideally I would be able to build something that my children and grandchildren can happily farm after me.

I have very basic experience in farming, most of it coming from growing up and working at a family farm, and working with my father on his small plot of land (more garden than farm). I am planning on working at an internship near where I am stationed currently (Fort Riley, KS) for my last few months of my military contract to learn and work on an organic farm, soaking up as much experience as I can.

I have a love of food, the outdoors, conservation, and animals. These all come together in my hope to build a lasting farm for my family’s future.

I am seeking an opportunity to grow medicinal herbs with a focus on native medicinal and edible plants, Chinese medicinals and raise rabbits for the animal food industry. I also wish to grow figs and seasonal heirloom vegetable plant starts. I plan to market the herbs wholesale dried to the retail business market initially and potentially grow into food processing beyond dehydration. I currently have a collection of heirloom figs that need a proper in ground home. I wish to utilize the figs for both fruit production and fig tree starts. I believe the leaves can also be utilized for sale.

I am seeking a career change for a more satisfying and fulfilling live work environment. I started my career change exploration by working at a greenhouse grow production business then a retail nursery business. I spent a month on an ecotourism focused organic farm this past summer. I have experience in B2B sales, real estate sales, property management and hospitality.

I have a rough draft business plan and see an opportunity opening in the market of medicinal herbs grown in the USA as well as a burgeoning health pet food movement. There are few providers in this region for this market opening.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

I serve as Managing Director of Avoveg Health LLC, an export company specializing in avocados and vegetables. I manage quality control, cold chain logistics, and partnerships with European clients, gaining expertise in international trade and sustainable practices.

Growing up on a family dairy farm, I gained hands-on experience in livestock care, milk production, and pasture management, inspiring my passion for agriculture.

I am a mother of five, currently living in Montana and planning to move to Pennsylvania. I have registered Golden Meadow Farm, which will oversee sustainable dairy farming, organic farming, and aeroponics. Organic farming is my primary focus, as it aligns with my commitment to environmental stewardship and producing high-quality products. A farm with a house would be ideal as it would provide a stable foundation for my family and operations.

I am particularly interested in aeroponics due to its immense benefits, including water efficiency, space optimization, and year-round production. My goal is to establish artisanal cheese production and organic farming alongside aeroponics, working with a farm owner on a long-term lease-to-own or succession agreement. My experience positions me to develop a thriving, sustainable farm operation that supports local communities and promotes environmental sustainability.

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!
