My name is Bradley Blair, and together with my wife, Michelle Blair, we own and operate
Blair Family Farms. We are reaching out to explore opportunities for a long-term farm lease
and/or a financial partnership to help us advance our vision of a sustainable, regenerative
farming enterprise.
About Us
Founded in 2023, Blair Family Farms is a first-generation, pasture-based regenerative farm
dedicated to raising livestock in harmony with nature. Our mission is to foster sustainable
agricultural practices, enhance soil health, and contribute to the decentralization of the
American food system.
What began as a small family project when our eldest child joined 4-H—raising broiler
chickens—has grown into a lifelong commitment to ethical animal husbandry and soil
restoration.
Our Approach
We practice regenerative agriculture rooted in respect for “the chickeness of the chicken” and
“the pigness of the pig.” Our animals are raised on rotational grazing systems, allowing them to
express their natural behaviors while improving soil fertility, biodiversity, and pasture resilience.
This approach results in healthier animals, more vibrant ecosystems, and stronger local food
networks.
We are seeking a property and partnership that align with our values of stewardship,
sustainability, and community resilience. It is our goal to cultivate land in a way that restores its
vitality, supports local food systems, and builds long-term agricultural viability.
We would welcome the opportunity to discuss how our goals might align and explore potential
opportunities for collaboration.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Warm regards,
Bradley & Michelle Blair

The ideal situation would have housing available as well as limited zoning restrictions. As ultimately we would like to establish an on farm USDA processing facility.

Grew up in my grandmothers garden that she always tended as my grandfather was a steel worker and layoffs were always unexpected. She always made sure that there was food available for any unexpected turn in life. I have some experience in my own garden but would love to expand that in a larger way for crop productions and possibly some animals in the future. Would also love to be able to expand in the future to a community space for people in the area to come learn about growing your own food and be able to exchange some casual labor for food!
I also have some experience in trail management for a natural preserve and maintaining native flora while combating invasive species. My mother is an herbalist and forager and it would be amazing to grow herbs that she could use for community medicine as well

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.

My name is Nash Lawrence, and I’m the owner of Pittsburgh Pastures, a pasture-based poultry and livestock farm in Mars, Pennsylvania. After gaining experience on farms across the country, I returned home in 2023 to start Pittsburgh Pastures with a focus on raising non-GMO, pasture-raised chickens and eggs through regenerative and humane farming practices. We’re currently looking to expand to 1,000 laying hens and 7,500+ meat birds in the coming season. My goal is to find a property within an hour of Pittsburgh that includes housing, allowing me to live on the same land where I care for my animals and continue growing the farm sustainably.

My brothers and I are eager to enter into an agriculture business. We seek to acquire a farm to operate with the intent of working and preserving the land. Combined, we have years of experience throughout the agriculture sector working with livestock, poultry, and food production. We would be most interested in any information that could allow us to help us achieve our goals.
