I have 12+ years of experience growing native plants and marketing them as food and medicine for humans, livestock, pets, and wildlife. I work as a consultant designing and installing regenerative ecosystems for landscaping, silvopasture, organic permaculture, aquaponics, and retail/restoration nursery stock. My mission in life is to create new models for symbiotic relationships that make the environment and humans more healthy. I am open to leasing land but my ideal situation is lease-to-own or to join an established, complementary operation looking to expand and diversify their vision.
My complete bio can be found here: https://www.revivingwisdom.com/about
Phase 1: I am looking for space to expand my organic native plant nursery operation. This can be done in a relatively small space but I am hoping for larger fields to grow local ecotype seed and live-stake stock. I will host educational workshops on-site as well.
Phase 2: I would like space to establish native plant demo gardens to inspire customers. I will also grow bulk medicinal herbs for the community.
Phase 3: I am interested in diversifying the operation with rows of native food forests to fold into packaged + preserved beverages, jams, etc.
Phase 4: Native food/medicine rows could be used for silvopasture operations in the future (dairy, wool, grass-fed meat, etc.), giving pasture-lands a break for regeneration.
Phase 5: As the team and operation expands, I am interested in many other models for sustainable, regenerative land use at the intersection of human + ecosystem value.
I am also open to taking on an existing operation (regenerative livestock, orchard, etc.) alongside my nursery business.

No farming exp. Built two hydroponic garden systems. I’m an entrepreneur, looking into starting a farm and agritourism business in a county outside of Philadelphia. I did full-desk recruitment for two years managing 500k/yr in business, bringing in new accounts and filling the job requisitions, then worked at a nonprofit called For Our Future.
My plan is to find land to manage a farm, hedge bad harvests with hydroponic farming centers, and use any extra land to offer spots for Vegan food trucks, flower picking, and a skatepark. I’d like to change the way folks view vegan food and make beef and chicken less of a staple in American consumer’s diets.
Seeking mentorship and land.

My wife and I are beginning farmers primarily looking to learn! My wife has experience with cultivating land, raising animals, and growing crops (much more than I do). We are eventually looking to purchase land in order to grow and sell crops.

I am a hard worker who enjoys learning new and old methods of production. I love getting my hands dirty, lived near cow farms and mushroom farms my entire life so no smell adjustment needed. I also have experience with growing plants and limited work with animals(milking cows and getting chicken eggs and feeding them). I am a fast learner and very people oriented, I am also fairly good with marketing and business strategies, I am good at onboarding criticism. my weaknesses: I am stubborn, tend to work to exhaustion and I can be overly caring.

I am a 1st generation farmer from the Lehigh Valley. I currently manage a farm in Bucks County where we have over 10 acres in production. I have experience with organic practice farming, vegetable row crop production, greenhouse production, extended season/high tunnel production, cut flower production, perennial production, wine grape production, orchard fruit, and beekeeping. I have experience managing a 100 member CSA, farm store, wholesale program, and a farmers market. I have experience with farm machinery, irrigation systems and IPM. Id like to add benefit to the local community where I’d be farming in by providing access to fresh, healthy produce/fruit/products/flowers/honey. I am seeking a farm to continue my passion for farming. Id like to raise a family run a farm to continue to pursue my career in agriculture and support my family. An ideal situation would be a farmer looking to transition their property to the next generation (me), bonus if tractor and /or other equipment, etc was also available with the purchase. I am looking for a piece of land, ideally at least 5 acres, with a home available, with options to either sign a long term lease, to lease to own, or purchase.
