Hello I am a novice hemp farmer, looking to lease affordable land for a year or more. My goal is to gain experience in the hemp farming industry, with a low cost initial investment.

I am 22 years old and have 3 years of regenerative farming experience. I have worked on a farm on Lopez Island, Washington where I learned about rotational grazing of cattle, market gardening, and commercial compost production. Next, I worked on a farm in Havre de Grace, Maryland where I grew veggies and berries in a 2 acre market garden, rotationally grazed cattle, sheep, and chickens, raised pigs in the woods, and even had my own personal dairy cow and taught myself how to make cheese. Finally, I worked on a market garden in Sellersville, Pennsylvania where I learned a bit more about the business side of operating a farm.
I would love to have my own farm one day to grow veggies in a market garden style, graze livestock in a rotational system (cattle, chickens, pigs, sheep), and would also like to have some dairy cows (would be interested in starting a small creamery). I am looking for a piece of property where I could make my farming dreams a reality and live on the property, too. It would be nice to take over a farm that someone is no longer interested in farming and eventually buy in from them. Since I am young and have been farming, I do not have the capital to buy a piece of land outright.

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 35 years old and a 5th generation farmer in search for a 1st generation farm for my wife and 4 children. I was born and raised in Pennsylvania. I am a U.S. Army OEF veteran. The farm that I grew up on was in Tilden Township Berks County. We raised feeder pigs, chickens and a cow/calf operation. We grew cattle hay and horse hay along with cash crops such as corn and soybeans. I’m looking to use more regenerative techniques to work the land to improve soil health and to use organic matter as fertilizer. My goal is to be more organic than the generations before me and to give my children the life I had growing up on a farm.

We are a family of four looking for more land to be able to raise a beef herd as well as pastured/woodlot pork and chickens. We currently raise woodlot pork and chickens on 7 acres. Having more acreage will give us that opportunity to expand.
