I am looking to rent or eventually own a small farm where I can grow vegetables, fruits, grains, and raise a few animals. I grew up on a farm owned by my grandparents, and that experience inspired me to one day have a farm of my own.
I have hands-on experience caring for cows and horses, working with crops, and growing my own vegetables, fruits, and grains. Farming has always been meaningful to me, and I would love the opportunity to continue that tradition while building something of my own.

Our farming experience has grown from years of hands-on production and from a shared belief that farming is the kind of work and life we want to continue building together. We started Bright Thread Farm in 2021 as a diversified vegetable farm and have grown vegetables for farmers markets, CSA, and local wholesale customers. Kelsey has spent much of her career working directly in crop production and farm management, including managing certified organic vegetable production and now overseeing crop production at Carnation Farms. Her experience includes everything from crop and seeding plans to field preparation, planting, irrigation, harvest, crew coordination, and getting crops to market. Trevor has farmed alongside Kelsey while also building a career working directly with farmers as an agricultural conservation planner, helping farms think through soil health, water management, irrigation, infrastructure, nutrient management, and the long-term viability of their operations.
Over the years, we have learned that what we want most is not simply more acreage, but a farm that we can really know and care for over a long period of time. We enjoy the process of figuring out what a particular piece of ground does well, improving soil year after year, working through the practical challenges of water and infrastructure, and building production systems that make sense for both the land and the people farming it. We hope to build a diversified and financially sustainable farm where annual crops remain an important part of the operation but where we can also explore perennial crops, livestock, or other enterprises depending on what is best suited to the property. Having farmed primarily on leased land, we understand how difficult it can be to make the long-term investments that good stewardship often requires. We are looking for a place where we can put down roots as a family, make thoughtful improvements, care for the soil and water, and build a farm that we expect to be part of for decades. A farm transfer is especially meaningful to us because we recognize that a farm is more than land and buildings—it represents years of work, knowledge, decisions, and relationships. We would hope to learn from that history, respect what previous farmers have built, and carry the farm forward in a way that keeps it productive, cared for, and connected to its agricultural community.

Hello. I am an Airforce veteran looking to get into farming. I am a mechanic by trade so working around tools and fixing things shouldn’t be a problem. I currently work a third shift job in Lansdale, PA and would like to have a farm in the #7 region. I saw a few that seemed maybe could be a good fit. I hope to grow vegetables and fruits and possibly some trees. I wouldn’t mind some livestock as well. But I guess that all depends on the land

I have 3 years experience working on established organic vegetable farms and 1 year experience running a small 1/2 acre vegetable farm on my own. I want to continue growing vegetables for direct-to-consumer sales or a CSA. I love being part of a community of people that love and care about food, and I want to continue building community through food wherever I land.

I grew up in rural NY growing Vegtables at home. As a teen I began working on horse farms, amd with livestock. I now have over 30 years experience raising animals and growing food.
I’m looking for a space to not only grow, but to be able to teach others what they can do with land they have.
I want to teach people about soul sciences and how plants grow. I want to teach people how to raise healthy animals to subsist on.
I want to teach people they can feed themselves, even off a small lot.
And I have a friend who is very into natural textiles. We want to be able to have a space to combine this knowledge and teach others.
And we want to keep the farms as farms!

Hi, I am a new beekeeper. I currently have 3 hives on a flower farm that i volunteer at . I drive an hour away to care for my bees and work the land, harvest, dead head and help to create tinctures.
I have a bit of knowledge about planting flowers, herbs, and some vegetables but i would not say i have farming knowledge of those things, but I would love to learn. I enjoy being w the bees and getting my hands dirty. I feel that beekeeper and working the land creates a strong person with a good work ethic who respects life a little differently. I would love to share that with others. My dream would be to have a a bee farm with apitherapy options for community members. Flower & herb farm as well as a small vegetable farm with a few goats for fresh goats milk & chickens for fresh eggs. I work hard and have zero problems getting my hands dirty and learning from those who know better.

I fled the NYC area craving space and peace and have been managing a 43 acre homestead in WV for four and a half years. The rural/agricultural life is definitely for me. I do have my own herds but if i needed to rehome my sheep and goats for farm succession I would. I love having the sun on my back and my hands in the dirt. I also love growing crops. The more things I can rely on myself for the better. I am an avid gardener, growing up with a grandmother who was literally a Master Gardener with a degree in botany (among other sciences). Growing food for myself and my animals bring me satisfaction and joy. My goals for farming are to provide clean healthy food for the community as well as partake in rotational grazing to regenerate the land. Crop cycling would also help the soil. I do have my own business and marketing plans for what I would do on a large farm, but I am also open to simply taking over something established even if it is very different than what I currently do. I am fast to learn and very connected to the animals and the earth. I would manage whichever farm lands with me with absolute reverence. This is a sacred and important job. No farms no food!

I am a budding farmer trying to learn and grow skills to one day run and care for larger amounts of land, plants, crops, and animals. I am interested in regenerative farming techniques that sustain and restore nutrients within the soil. My goal is to a mix of calorie dense crops, greens, nurture or start an orchard that includes fig, apple, pawpaw, pomegranate, and pear trees. I aim to keep chickens or ducks as well as goats or cows. I aim to prioritize natural solutions as much as possible to pest issues that may affect crops or livestock, in order to prevent harmful pesticide usage. My vision to is supply locally grown, healthy food to my family and others in the surrounding region.

I am young and earnest in learning how to farm. I have yet to do my own farming, but am taking classes, speaking to kind and intelligent farmers, and getting as much experience as I can. I would like to own my own ranch, having both agricultural side focused on feeding the local community as well as animals. I hope to do so in a way that restores the quality of the land, and to preserve it for future generations.
