With a background in horticulture science, agribusiness management, and hands-on technical experience, I am eager to learn from experienced farmers and prepare for long-term success in farm ownership and management. Growing up in Chester County, I developed a deep connection to the land through community service projects and local agriculture initiatives, fostering a commitment to preserving and enhancing our natural resources for future generations. This personal connection, combined with my formal training and practical experience, drives my passion for creating resilient, sustainable farms that benefit both the community and the environment. I aim to integrate vertical operations, visitor-focused agriculture, and closed-loop resource systems to create resilient farms that cut waste, expand revenue, and showcase sustainable practices for future generations. My long-term vision includes not limited to operating a diversified farm with fruit crops, mushrooms, herbs, aquaculture (trout and walleye), honey, worms, and integrated poultry systems. I am particularly interested in regenerative and syntropic agriculture, Korean natural farming, and permaculture approaches that minimize input costs while building soil health and supporting sustainable land stewardship.

I am looking for a farmhouse/homestead set up. I have years of experience with livestock, poultry and am a penn state master gardener. I love gardening and would love to create a huge greenhouse, and grow medicinal and tea herbs. I also enjoy educating people about agriculture and sustainability. I recently left a DV situation with my children. One of whom is disabled and medically fragile, which is another driving factor for wanting to get back to a more natural lifestyle.

Currently live just outside of Philadelphia in Berwyn and looking for to lease 3-5 acres preferably in the surrounding area but willing to drive up to 1.5 hrs. Interested in longer term lease in order to set-up regenerative ag / agroforestry production system with emphasis on perennials , soil health, and biodiversity. I’m really interested in the idea of setting up a farm that improves the land and brings back biodiversity, while also being profitable, with lower input costs, and reliance on natural resources through improved nutrient and water cycles. Not looking to have any animals on the farm (at least to start)
I do not have currently have a farm (or any real practical experience), however have done a ton or research and am motivated to make it work. I’m only looking for a small farm to learn and develop an efficient production system. I now work in financial services in Philadelphia and have two small children that I think would benefit massively from being and working on a farm. Happy to discuss business / marketing plan at request.

I am seeking to build an organic, sustainable farm that I can grow food for my family and the surrounding community. Ideally I would be able to build something that my children and grandchildren can happily farm after me.
I have very basic experience in farming, most of it coming from growing up and working at a family farm, and working with my father on his small plot of land (more garden than farm). I am planning on working at an internship near where I am stationed currently (Fort Riley, KS) for my last few months of my military contract to learn and work on an organic farm, soaking up as much experience as I can.
I have a love of food, the outdoors, conservation, and animals. These all come together in my hope to build a lasting farm for my family’s future.

I am seeking an opportunity to grow medicinal herbs with a focus on native medicinal and edible plants, Chinese medicinals and raise rabbits for the animal food industry. I also wish to grow figs and seasonal heirloom vegetable plant starts. I plan to market the herbs wholesale dried to the retail business market initially and potentially grow into food processing beyond dehydration. I currently have a collection of heirloom figs that need a proper in ground home. I wish to utilize the figs for both fruit production and fig tree starts. I believe the leaves can also be utilized for sale.
I am seeking a career change for a more satisfying and fulfilling live work environment. I started my career change exploration by working at a greenhouse grow production business then a retail nursery business. I spent a month on an ecotourism focused organic farm this past summer. I have experience in B2B sales, real estate sales, property management and hospitality.
I have a rough draft business plan and see an opportunity opening in the market of medicinal herbs grown in the USA as well as a burgeoning health pet food movement. There are few providers in this region for this market opening.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
