Farmer County: Fulton

Entering Farmer #20592

I come from over 300+ years of farmers on both sides of my family. Prior to my mother’s generation, the majority of my relatives lived on homesteads in the Mississippi Delta. After 10+ years in the field of medicine, I was given the opportunity to work part-time, and dedicate 30-40 hours/week farming on my urban plot of land.
I thrive off manual labor, working outside, and figuring things out through observation and trail/error, and the occasional mentor.

Over the last four years, on 1.25 Suburban Acres, I have practiced permaculture, farming, and advancing manual labor skills through :
-Regeneration of the soil/land (pulled 18+ years of untouched invasive ivy, cut down trees/limbs/etc.),
-Planted an orchard with ~10 fruit and nut trees (swale with perennials and annuals intermixed)
-Installed two small ponds
-Raised 20+ chickens for egg production
-First heritage flock hatched in December. First generation chicks from the Alpha hen female
-Grown plants from seedling in basement set-up. Developed a three tier planting schedule for Spring 2026 to ensure success in case of abnormal cold/rain/drought
-Grown all types of food (corn, wheat, berries, vegetables, legumes)
-Incorporated flowers in all beds/areas grown from seed and harvested in the 1,000s this summer
-Assisted in the milling of a fallen 300-year elm–used limbs and wood to regenerate soil, build furniture, create beds
-Attended self-reliance workshops
-Read/study permaculture and pasture-raised farming techniques

Over the next five years, I am looking to purchase/lease a large plot of land with the following goals:
-Raise pasture raised beef with chicken tractors (egg and meat production–plan on building one of each this Spring)
-Build small scale on-site chicken butchering operation
-Sell chicken meat on-site (I have a business plan for this in order to be within regulations). Possible integration with a renowned farm-to-table restaurant (relationship already established)
-Orchards
-Greenhouse
-Increased food and flower production
-Bee/honey operation
-Possible small scale dairy production (cow and goat)
-Possible integration with schools/learning centers

Looking to becoming a farm owner in near future for cattle, fruit, vegetables, other livestock

Entering Farmer #20577

I am looking for 10-25 acres of land to begin my operations that will consist of the following: 500 laying hens, 1000 broilers, a 1.5-acre vegetable garden, two cows, six sheep, a small processing mobile unit that can be eventually removed. I am seeking to form or collaborate with a farmer who would be willing to let me either use a portion of their unused land or construct a 1-5 year leases agreement. This would position my operation to immediately build soil nutrient, sequester carbon, give value to the property and or eventually exercise a motion to either buy or lease for long term.

I’m an aspiring young farmer committed to building a long-term, sustainable operation that I can live on and grow over time. My vision is to start with laying hens, meat goats, bees, and diverse vegetable crops, with a focus on regenerative practices and ethical animal care.

My goal is to create a productive, hands-on farm that supports both myself and my local community — eventually expanding into a full-time livelihood rooted in stewardship, hard work, and connection to the land. I’m looking for an opportunity to begin small, learn continuously, and develop a thriving farm I can call home for years to come.

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 am someone who has found myself feeling very passionate about land conservation and farming for my family. I don’t have a lot of experience, just a backyard garden that I’m managing to keep alive in the Sonoran Desert. (That has to count for at least a point or two.)

My best friend and I are dreaming of a life where we can both live on the same property and grow foods for ourselves, our extended family, and maybe even a farm stand. This would ideally be located in Pennsylvania, so that I can return to my home state and be around family. I want fruit trees and berry bushes, chickens and goats, a very large veggie garden and plenty of flower gardens as well. I intend fully to create habitats of native plants, flowers, and trees for animals and bugs native to the area.

I just don’t know where to start or how to acquire land without putting myself in debt.

We are a dedicated couple searching for a farm property in Pennsylvania for a long-term lease, ideally with a lease-to-own option. Our goal is to build a diversified, sustainable farm that supports both our family and the local community with responsibly raised meats, fresh produce, and handmade goods.

Our vision includes:

A small herd of meat cattle for personal and local consumption

Meat chickens, laying hens, and meat rabbits, with plans to wholesale rabbit meat to local restaurants

Dairy goats for producing artisan cheeses, soaps, butter, and other goods

A robust garden for growing vegetables and herbs

A home-based operation crafting bread, soap, baked goods, and more

Sustainability, soil health, and ethical animal care are central to everything we plan to do. We’re committed to creating a regenerative farm that produces high-quality, local food while respecting the land.

A huge plus would be the ability to produce hay on-site—either for our own use or as part of a broader land stewardship plan.

We’re seeking a property with good pasture, reliable water, and room to grow—both literally and figuratively. Open to creative lease arrangements with landowners who value local food systems and sustainable agriculture.

Let’s build something rooted and resilient—together.

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.
