I was disabled as civilian combat support with the State Department in Iraq after 5 consecutive tours. I’m expecting to be setteling a decade long workers comp claim this next year and want to purchase PA farmland and begin a small farm with horses and small livestock. I was born and raised in PA, served as a Philadelphia City Solicitor and attended Penn State Law.
I am a beginner farmer with little experience but the desire and perseverance to realize a lifetime dream. I love animals and my 15 yr old son is ready to assist me on the farm, so this is for his future as well. I would ideally prefer between 20 to 40 acres of land, but I’m very flexible. I should have around $1M from my settlement to dedicate toward the purchase of a a farm and/or land.

I hope to continue or create a combination of productive and stewarded land use that serves as both a home and a community resource. Somewhere that supports food, culture, art, and care. I grew up in rural Midwest and have lived in the Philly for about 15 years. Now I’m ready to return to a more natural setting and deepen my connection to land and local community. I have experience with gardening and small-scale food growing, and I’d like to grow that into a collaborative effort with others who share similar values.

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.

I work for the USDA and currently have chickens for eggs and want to start a hatchery of my own. I also would like to get into livestock. A previous assignment I worked in my career as an inspector, was on a cattle farm. I spent 6 years learning what I could from the farmers who cross breed double muscle cattle for the best quality of meat. I am also a student at Pennsylvania State University, I’m enrolled in Agricultural business marketing degree. My passion in life is Agriculture and I want to get into farming and being able to contribute to my local communities Agricultural programs

I grew up in Cranberry Township on 10 acres when it was still farm land – born in the early 70s with cows as neighbors on 2 sides. I only ever knew well water and raw milk direct from our local farmer friend. My family had two small gardens but enough to feed 5 for summer with about 10 rows of corn, which us kids mostly seeded, watered, weeded, harvested. I would say we grew about 10 to 12+ different types of vegetables. We often went to local farms for apple,picking and took them to the local cider press (Sally’s) to watch them, be pressed into our own cider. My parents both hunted until my mom had children, and we hunted to sustain winter since we did not grow up with a lot of money.

I went from that life pretty directly to corporate world at age 19 through 52 and I much preferred the former life. I enjoy being more in tune with nature, more time outdoors, more self-sustaining, and of course, more tomatoes!

As back up, I have my best friend from high school and her husband who own a beyond organic (even more stringent practices) orchard/cidery and have degrees in horticulture and agriculture. I consider them experts in going in above and beyond in their practices of organic farming and living.

I would love to start learning more and am ready to start up and find land.
