I am the son of a 3rd generation dairy farmer; I was raised on a dairy farm, and I am now looking to become the next generation to carry on the legacy. I am looking for a dairy farm to rent / lease in Pennsylvania, but we are willing to consider further options. Housing for my family and I would have to be included.
I am also interested in renting crop land in Juniata County.

Passionate, hardworking, creative 24 year old man looking for a farm. I am in the process of developing a specific business plan but I generally I plan to generate revenue with events, rental cabins, meat, and produce. I have worked on farms for four years, three with organic vegetables and one with pastured livestock. I took a permaculture design course last winter and am looking to gain more experience with trees this coming season. Farming wise I will practice silvopasture, growing trees over perennial grasses with livestock grazing, and market gardening. It is important to me to produce good food and I also see value in outdoor experiences. On-farm events like workouts, barbeques, live music will bring in visitors. Those visitors will see that they can buy produce there, and stay in a quiet cabin next weekend. Something really special would be an amphitheater, stage, and studio. A property with varied topography is preferred so some sections can always remain more hidden. This is my vision but I am flexible. Call or email anytime and I’ll get back to you as soon as I can.

My wife and I have always dreamed of owning our own farm to produce organic, sustainable food for us and our community. We are looking to take our backyard homesteading experience out of suburbia and into the country.
I currently raise chickens for egg production as well as New Zealand rabbits for meat. My wife grows all sorts of veggies in her garden while the kids help out with everything. We are looking for at least a 10 acre site with a home and at least a small barn to start our pasture-raised, organic broiler farm. We’d eventually like to establish a small orchard of apple and pear trees as well as an apiary for honey production.

Background:
I developed a passion for “the family dinner” during my childhood. My Nonna ~Italian Grandmother~ has dinner at 1:00pm every Sunday at her dinner table in Havertown, PA. This is the setting where our family comes together to laugh, love, and dine on delicious homemade Italian dishes. She grows the produce in her backyard while my Nonno ~Italian Grandfather~ makes his infamous rosé wine in the basement cellar. It is our family’s norm.
As I grew up and experienced different cultures around the world, I realized that food can truly be the central meeting place for family, friends, and communities. It is a wonderful way to share culture and express love while nourishing ourselves to live healthy lives.
In my late teens and early twenties I went off to college at Drexel University in Philadelphia, PA. The dining experience quickly shifted from a beautiful event to a quick and meaningless set of meals that lacked in quality. This is when I realized that there were massive improvement opportunities for all stages of food production.
As a result of a plethora of food adventures, I navigated down a path of various food production systems to fully understand: how to produce high quality food with an emphasis on positive ecosystem outcomes. As I continue these efforts, I plan to drive this energy through my entire career to ensure that highly nutritious sustenance is the absolute norm across all stages of the food production system.

I am an avid food gardener of 8 years experience who’s passion has outgrown the space currently available to me. I am looking to enter the commercial food production business but am severely limited in my capacity for production. Living in conjoined housing has forced me to negotiate the use of several of the yards of my neighbors. While this approach has proven useful for research and small scale production it poses several logistical challenges which could be mitigated through the use of a larger centralized plot of land. I am in search of a plot up to 10 acres preferably organic but not necessarily certified. My method of farming includes 100% organic fertilization and IPM .
