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.

My wife and myself have been involved in agriculture our entire lives. We have both grown up and worked on various types of farms throughout the years. While I focused on row crops, she focused on raising animals, and when we got together it all seemed to mesh very well. We both attended Penn State University to further expand our education in agriculture.

We currently farm around 100 acres of rented crop land using primarily 100% no till methods. The main cash crops we raise are soybeans and winter wheat, and we have also done some experimentation growing fall decorations such as sunflowers, pumpkins, and Indian corn. When the cash crops are not growing, we plant cover crops (rye, oats, clover, radishes) in the off season to keep our soil covered. We firmly believe in cover cropping to protect and enhance soil and water quality. By using sustainable practices and treating every acre of land as if it were our own has led us to prosper and be profitable.

We are currently looking for more crop land, grazing land, and facilities to lease to expand our farming operation. It has always been our goal to live and work on a family farm. We hope to work with you and come up with a farm plan/agreement that is mutually beneficial.
