I am a 29 year old father of three with a girlfriend soon to be wife. I have always wished I grew up on some type of farm but was really only able to work jobs once and again on them. I am aspiring to own my own goat farm, using them for grazing services and milk products and possibly get into the meat industry. I have been planning this for years now and am beyond ready to dive into it. My family would also be helping me with this adventure so I already have a couple “employees”. (Haha) This is a dream for not only me but my family. Just want to earn a living ourselves and provide a simple but yet bountiful life for our family.

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 husband and I are looking to move to a rural area in or outside of the Lehigh valley. We have started gardening at home and have the desire to homestead where we would garden, have some animals (ducks , goats,maybe eventually cattle) ideally we would live a pond to fish or stream and also have wooded land for hunting as well. We would love to be able to turn this into a home business and work the farm and share knowledge and resources with others as well grow in experience.

I am a wife, homeschooling mom, and small business owner. I have volunteered on a horse farm for a year and grown a small garden. After much research, I want to start a herd of Nigerian Dwarf goats. I’m looking to use the goat milk for personal use, but mostly for establishing a Goat Milk Skin Care products business. I’m looking for a farm on approximately 5 acres with a house for my family, barn/shed for goats, land for growing vegetables, and a farmstand for selling vegetables, goat milk skin care products, and more.

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.
