Currently, my fiance and I are looking to create a farm in which we can be self sufficient and bring about community joy. We began this journey not knowing much about farming but through researching, volunteering, and planning, we have been able to cultivate ideas that work best for production and cultivation. We both share a deep love for animals and agriculture. On the weekends, we volunteer at our local farm ensuring that we learn the best practices for starting a farm. Some tasks we do include cleaning horse stalls, planting in greenhouses, and operating the small farm petting zoo. We have come to love these tasks so much that they have inspired us to take a leap of faith and begin planning our own farm.

Hello, I am from a multi generation farm owning family. I am currently looking for property to expand and step out on my own with. Our little blended family consist of my husband and I along with our two teenage children. I currently own a small herd of sheep. But I grew up with my family farming cows and raising horses.

My wife and I are seeking a long-term opportunity to live and manage a small, diversified farm or homestead, ideally one in transition to new caretakers. I’ve managed and worked on educational and organic farms across New England—most recently at the Good Life Center and Four Seasons Farm in Maine—and have several years of experience with vegetable growing, small livestock care, and farm stewardship. My wife is a teacher, writer, and experienced farm caretaker who has helped raised goats and tend gardens.
We’re drawn to farming as a way of life that blends care for the land with community and creativity, and we’re hoping to find a place where we can grow into long-term stewardship alongside those ready to pass their work on.

Hello, my name is Tyler. I am 22 years old and originally from Massachusetts now in New Hampshire. I have been farming for about 8 years originally growing tree fruits and now growing produce, primarily sweet corn. I am looking to start the next chapter of my farming career and interest in possibly mentoring under someone for a couple years in hopes of starting my own farm. I am open to and interested in all types of agriculture including both crop farming and livestock, I am also willing to relocate just about anywhere as opportunities in my area are very limited.

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’m a beginning farmer looking to scale from homestead-level production to a small, diversified operation on 50–100 acres within 2–3 hours of Pittsburgh (and ~2–2.5 hours of Columbus/St. Clairsville). I’m seeking a lease-to-own (or lease-first, buy-after-easement) arrangement. The ideal farm has tillable ground plus woods so I can combine forage/crop production with managed woodlot uses (trails, habitat, firewood, and future agroforestry plantings). My near-term plan is to establish soil-building rotations (cover crops, hay/pasture), grow feed and market garden crops, and then add a small starter herd/flock as infrastructure allows. Long-term, I want a resilient, regenerative system that improves the land, supports wildlife, and serves local markets. I’m comfortable with conservation easements that keep the land in agriculture and can help lower the eventual purchase price. I’m organized, reliable, and ready to begin with a practical, phased plan and steady sweat equity.

Some knowledge with soil science, plant nutrition, pesticide application, organic growing practices such as KNF, soil/microbe/nutrient relationships etc. I’m just a young father with a dream to run a farm with his family. My wife and I never fit in with the typical 9-5 crowd and we’ve always wanted to start a farm but with society the way it is and having 2 children, it makes it hard to achieve those goals financially.
