Hello, my name is Tyler. I am 22 years old and originally from Massachusetts now in New Hampshire. I have been farming for about 8 years originally growing tree fruits and now growing produce, primarily sweet corn. I am looking to start the next chapter of my farming career and interest in possibly mentoring under someone for a couple years in hopes of starting my own farm. I am open to and interested in all types of agriculture including both crop farming and livestock, I am also willing to relocate just about anywhere as opportunities in my area are very limited.

Engineering and bakery positions are currently held. With precision agriculture farming and bakery at the core of our ideas. A young couple with a plan to not depend on the commodity but to depend on the land. We hope to open our own farm and bakery, small scale, around 3 acres, with access for people, some wooded lot for firewood, and some to grow vegetable crops. We have experience with volunteering for 3 years and have grown our own crops across a variety of things. We are now saving capital to lease and require help. We wish to find like-minded people who can help us and us them when necessary to propel our future. And we believe Farm Link does just this. We have searched through the endless information, but Farm Link does it all. We hope to be able to discuss more.

We are a couple looking to lease or purchase a farm property in Pennsylvania to live and work full-time. Our vision is to create a sustainable, diversified farm that blends agriculture with community service. We plan to raise goats(for milk and a mobile “goat cuddling” program), chickens for eggs, and vegetable gardens, along with pick-your-own flowers. A key part of our mission is running a CSA program for cancer patients in partnership with LAFF (Life Always Facing Forward), providing fresh produce and flowers to those in need.
We have hands-on experience with livestock, dairy, and vegetable production, and we are committed to maintaining and improving any property we manage. Our goal is to build a farm that nurtures the land, supports our community, and serves as a healing space for families, children, and visitors.

Eric is looking for a partnership with a landowner that is based on trust, respect, and freedom. He is seeking land that is as close as possible to Northern New Jersey & New York City population centers & sales outlets. He is seeking a long-term lease agreement with the landowner for a period of ten years or an opportunity to purchase the right property, in the right location, for the right price. His ideal location would have at least 11 acres of land available with opportunity for expansion as the business becomes more successful. The eleven-acre property would be farmed using market gardening design and cultivation practices and managed by a dedicated team of employees. Eric is looking for 11 acres so that he has ten acres of potential vegetable producing space with around 1 acre of space for infrastructure such as tool storage, truck parking, wash station, driveways etc.
Eric began farming in 2015 when leading MEVO.org he established the two-acre Fresh Roots Farm at Campgaw Mountain Reservation in Mahwah, NJ. In addition, he expanded his skills more in 2018 when he established the one-acre Lovewell Farm also located in Mahwah, NJ. Eric developed and built out all the needed farm infrastructure for these properties: greenhouse, tool & equipment storage, deer fencing, raised beds, driveways, irrigation, compost system, wash station / post-harvest processing, refrigerator, electrical system, and more. He hired a trained a Farm Manager and some amazing staff to help run the farms, enrolled MEVO in the JM Fortier Masterclass, and has spent his time studying successful farmers like Elliot Coleman, Ben Hartman, Curtis Stone and more… He has been involved in all aspects of farm production: greenhouse propagation, planting, cultivation, irrigation, harvest, wash station management, packing, and distributing MEVO’s products out to a CSA, restaurant accounts, and selling at the Ramsey Farmers Market. He is an avid beekeeper and has managed MEVO’s Honeybee Apiary for 10 years supporting 25 hives during his biggest season. Photos of MEVO’s Fresh Roots and Lovewell Farms are available via Eric’s farm portfolio and professional references are also available.

I’ve been working in greenhouse production for about 1.5 years. Part of the experience was in commercial production and part in production for a botanical garden. Personally, I have been growing my green thumb at home and have harvested veggies and maintain native and perineal plants. I’m hoping to acquire land to expand my passions and be able to host/offer community space for the exchange of education and knowledge of land stewardship among underserved communities. I see the rapid industrialization of the available farm land and the harm caused to our environments, and how important it is preserve it and educate the next generation of farmers.

My name is Abbas Rasheed, and I have a background in international business. I have practical experience in logistics and distribution, and I’m now working on developing a small-scale sustainable farm in Pennsylvania. I have researched poultry and small livestock management in detail and have been preparing a startup plan focused on chickens and sheep, with a low-cost and that is well-suited for leased land.
I am looking to lease approximately 5 acres of farmland within driving distance of Philadelphia. The land will be used for raising a small flock of laying hens (around 200) for egg production and a small group of sheep (about 10) for grazing and seasonal sales. My goal is to run the farm in a clean, responsible, and sustainable way while maintaining the property well.
