Farmer County: Bedford

Entering Farmer #20531

I am someone who has found myself feeling very passionate about land conservation and farming for my family. I don’t have a lot of experience, just a backyard garden that I’m managing to keep alive in the Sonoran Desert. (That has to count for at least a point or two.)

My best friend and I are dreaming of a life where we can both live on the same property and grow foods for ourselves, our extended family, and maybe even a farm stand. This would ideally be located in Pennsylvania, so that I can return to my home state and be around family. I want fruit trees and berry bushes, chickens and goats, a very large veggie garden and plenty of flower gardens as well. I intend fully to create habitats of native plants, flowers, and trees for animals and bugs native to the area.

I just don’t know where to start or how to acquire land without putting myself in debt.

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.

I worked for Hillandale Farms as a Chicken maintenance. I am an aspiring Christian farmer dedicated to building a faith-based, sustainable free-range chicken farm in Pennsylvania. My goal is to raise healthy, naturally fed poultry in a way that honors God’s creation and provides honest, high-quality food for local families. I value transparency, stewardship of the land, and ethical farming practices rooted in Christian principles. I’m seeking opportunities to connect with landowners, mentors, or partners who share the same vision of faith-driven, regenerative agriculture.

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.

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.
