I am the founder of Grey Muzzle Manor Sanctuary, Inc. and TheraHerd Counseling and Community Services. Historically, Grey Muzzle Manor offered senior animal rescue, hospice care, and community outreach programs to help people and pets stay together. Grey Muzzle Manor also previously offered Hippotherapy through Natural Horsemanship. In 2016, focus shifted to outpatient mental health services.

I am a licensed professional counselor who has been practicing since 2016. Grey Muzzle Manor Sanctuary, Inc. is based upon a platform of acceptance, non-judgement, and presence. At Grey Muzzle Manor, animals and people heal together. The outside of the neglected animal often directly represents the inside of the client. They begin to heal together and as the animal heals, the client is able to see themselves in the transformation. These also happen to be attributes necessary for healing in client-centered therapy and how animals live their lives. Through these parallels, I’ve been able to grow Grey Muzzle Manor (and adding TheraHerd) through various programs in hopes that everyone, people and animals, know that they matter, they mean something, and they are noticed.

Grey Muzzle and TheraHerd recently and suddenly lost their home in the spring. I can expand on the situation further. The organization, myself, my family, my businesses, and my animals were all displaced. This also meant that we lost our safe space to offer therapy. I’ve seen so many lives changed and been witness to miracles. We are trying to rebuild after the aftermath. My only hope is that I can find a space to do this work again.

Hello my name is Hannah May! My husband Blake and I have been looking for a farm for a year or two now. But with being so young and wanting to get into farming it’s super hard. We have a 10 month son that we want to be able to raise on a farm. I grew up on a fifty acre farm in PA so I understand the value of living on a farm! My husband has been around agriculture his whole life as well! I raised and showed pigs, goats, sheep steer, and chicken. We had 60,000 which we raised for Purdue!
We would love the opportunity to be able to partner with a farmer.

I hope to continue or create a combination of productive and stewarded land use that serves as both a home and a community resource. Somewhere that supports food, culture, art, and care. I grew up in rural Midwest and have lived in the Philly for about 15 years. Now I’m ready to return to a more natural setting and deepen my connection to land and local community. I have experience with gardening and small-scale food growing, and I’d like to grow that into a collaborative effort with others who share similar values.

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.

Career background in technology and energy entrepreneurship. JD from Harvard Law School. Professionally, I’m new to farming, though my very first job (age 13) was working on a local farm. Born and raised in Bucks County PA, now live in Harrisburg.

Exploring small to mid-sized farm opportunities for organic crop production alongside solar energy production. I’m passionate about the opportunity to create local food and local energy, being both environmentally and financially sustainable. Interested in land purchase (not leasing).

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.
