I grew up in Wayne county pa and worked a farm there for most of my youth. I’ve never been in a place to be able to own my own farm, but now that I have a family, my wife and I would love to be able to raise our girls to work the land. We are looking for space for us to be able to have our own goats, cows, chickens and crops.

I’ve been a lifelong gardener and just started a small herb seedling business. Once I have more space to do so I’ll expand operations with a greenhouse and farmstand, and other agri tourism endeavors

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.

I am a journey farmer. I have worked on two farms in the last three years developing m skills and knowledge. I am interested in finding land where I can begin a small operation to grow vegetables, berries, fruit and raise livestock (Layers, broilers, pigs, rabbits etc.) My goal is to first improve the conditions of land by using permaculture designs, agroforestry integration, and regenerative practices to improve soil, water and biodiversity. I am aiming to produce a succession of annual and perennial crops that can be converted into value=added products and utilize the space so that it can be attractive holistically with the opportunity for stackable enterprises. I am looking to secure approximately 3 to 40 acres to begin this journey with the help of family, friends and close farmer relationships.

I am a first generation farmer. I am currently renting many small pieces of farm ground and a barn for beef cattle. My desire is to find a farm to grow my operation. I own my own equipment and a small beef herd. I have experience with beef and dairy cows. I also grow corn, soybeans, hay, sorghum/sudan grass, rye, and barley. I am looking for a farm with 70 or more tillable acres with a house and barn with dairy or beef set up. I would like a lease or rent to own agreement.

With the state of the world right now, farming is the one thing that must be protected the most. I moved to Central PA four years ago to get away from the city. Now I have experience in growing my own food, purchasing butchered meat straight from the farm, and hanging with the Amish as they showed me how to churn butter and bottle raw cow’s milk. Now, with the threat of data centers buying and drying up land, I feel the need to do my part. Finding a farm for sale in my budget takes research and resources. I desire to have land that benefits us while taking care of itself. Growing produce that can act as food and medicine. Utilizing the growing season to help keep the land healthy. Have animals that can contribute to everyday health and food, as well as therapeutic measures. Classes for people who want to learn. Events for people to just come hang out on the farm. Help keep building a society that does not solely rely on consumerism for all their needs.

I studied horticulture/ floriculture in trade school from 06-09 where I learned all types of growing skills. I continued gardening on my own after graduating, producing vegetables, herbs and fruits. My hope is to aquire a small piece of fertile land with a structure where I can live and farm and I’m thinking to do a CSA to provide food for my community. I currently am growing more than I need but I lack the property to put up a stand. It’s also difficult to make it a priority when I’m working full time to pay a landlords mortgage.
