I’m a 49 year old woman with a lifetime of experience gardening and caring for horses and small livestock. I’m currently practicing permaculture and “homesteading” on my small <0.25 acre residential lot in downtown Lititz, PA.
My dream is to run an inclusive Care Farm for children on a larger plot that will be accessible to children of ALL abilities. Care farming is the therapeutic use of farming practices to provide health, social, and educational services for people in need.
While only a small portion of the farm will be directly used for growing crops (around an acre), the rest will be used as pasture for grazing animals and/or left natural to enrich the ecosystem. I'm particularly looking for land opportunities in the southern portion of the state.

Retired HVAC. Looking for an opportunity to be a working trustee with perhaps possibly buying a hobby farm property.
As my wife and I are older, not looking for a huge farm. We have older children that would also help with the work. Maybe a small hobby farm/property with an eye towards argiturism.

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.

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.

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.

I began my farm journey three years ago with Cornell Small Farms then joining PASA in Pennsylvania. I have worked on three farms since and I am currently at that phase where my confidence as peaked and I am ready to pursue stage one of my farming goals. Stage one is the entry point where I start out small (poultry and vegetables) then eventually grading up to full-scale farming that will eventually become an Agritourism venture. The focus on my farm goals is to create an Agritourism venture that comprises of many facets of the farming industry at a community level where teaching, learning, and applying great agriculture practices together with permaculture and holistic management. I am seeking 5-25 acres of land access in the beginning through farmer-to-farmer agreements, working alongside experience farmers or any collaboration that would involve an entry point.
