My family of 4 is looking to move to Pennsylvania and own farm land to develop a farm/homestead on. My husband is looking for a construction job to support our family as I will stay home with the kids and raise animals/grow crops. I plan on having social media to highlight our journey as a young family moving to PA to start our homestead.

I have experience with chickens, quails, rabbits, mainly but some experience with other animals and gardening. I am looking for a farm not huge like commercial size but not small. Medium size farm, 10 or more acres. We want cows, chickens, quail, rabbits, sheep, goats. We want to raise animals for their eggs, manure, and meat. We also want to start a farm store and grow things like pumpkins, microgreens, tomatoes, carrots, potatoes, apples, figs, and so much more. I homeschool my 2 children and would like a big enough house to foster children as well. So I am looking for a farm home with at least 4 bedrooms. But we can always add a home or more room if there is enough room on the acres.
My husband is an electrician, but he wants to eventually quit and farm with me. The most we can really afford is about $250,000. Or we could do owner financing if that is an option. My passion and dream is to farm. I’ve always loved animals, they bring me peace and joy. We are also hoping there would be some sort of forest on the property or room enough to grow some trees.

My goals for farming is to continue to care for the land in a sustainable easy while providing nourishing products for the community. Growing up I always said I wanted to be a farmer and my first job was working at the local farmer’s market where I learned about local food and seasons. After college, I spent three years as an intern for a local organic CSA called Prescott’s Patch. Currently, I am a patent paralegal for the large equipment manufacturer Case New Holland.

I currently own and operate Mountain View Acres. I currently lease about 10 acres from my neighbor. Being a pasture based poultry farm I raise broilers chickens seasonally, March to Oct, and have a laying flock of hens that are moved and housed in mobile coops. With being a pasture based farm I have created a niche market that allows me to be direct to consumer and having some wholesale accounts as well.

Last year we stared home delivery services which is important to give convenience to the customer but also allows me to potentially move to different parts of the state without affecting my sales since we have no brick and motar store.
I’m also in the process of finding partner farms to be a one stop shop Food Hub for consumers who like the convenience of home delivery.
My ideal farm would be big enough to have my family live on the farm, decent infrastructure to rehab or remodel and enough land to branch out from just chickens. A small mixed use, highly diverse farm. The kids want to start their own farm ventures as well.

I am a journey farmer. I have worked on two farms in the last three years developing m skills and knowledge. I am interested in finding land where I can begin a small operation to grow vegetables, berries, fruit and raise livestock (Layers, broilers, pigs, rabbits etc.) My goal is to first improve the conditions of land by using permaculture designs, agroforestry integration, and regenerative practices to improve soil, water and biodiversity. I am aiming to produce a succession of annual and perennial crops that can be converted into value=added products and utilize the space so that it can be attractive holistically with the opportunity for stackable enterprises. I am looking to secure approximately 3 to 40 acres to begin this journey with the help of family, friends and close farmer relationships.

I am a Navy veteran, husband, and soon-to-be father looking to establish a long-term family farm where we can put down roots, raise our children, and become responsible stewards of the land. I am relatively new to farming professionally, but I have become deeply committed to regenerative agriculture and am actively educating myself on soil health, rotational grazing, pasture management, livestock, food production, and long-term land stewardship. My goal is to develop a diversified, regenerative family farm built around healthy pasture and livestock, with particular interest in grass-fed lamb. I would also like to raise chickens and other livestock, grow some of our own food, establish a greenhouse and garden, and create a farm that becomes increasingly productive and self-sufficient over time. I am especially interested in land with good pasture, reliable water, healthy or restorable soils, and enough acreage to practice rotational grazing and improve the property rather than overwork it. I am not looking for a short-term investment or development opportunity; I am looking for a place my family can care for for decades, improve through regenerative practices, and hopefully pass on to the next generation.
