I am a physician by profession , with a deep love for farming (belonging to a generational farming family from Pakistan). Current experience includes backyard gardening in my 1/2 acre lot with vegetables and fruit trees gardening.

Long term lease of farmland will allow me to pursue my passion and preserve the Land for the future generations.

I am a Philadelphia-based farmer and carpenter with a strong commitment to community development and sustainable food systems. My vision is to establish a farm rooted in African diaspora foodways and culture that brings farm life to children and families who might not otherwise experience it in an urban setting. With experience in farming, carpentry, and grassroots community work, I aim to reclaim land and create a space that is both productive and educational. My family farm will serve as a hub for growing food, teaching self-sufficiency, and celebrating cultural heritage through agriculture. I am seeking land where I can begin this work and grow a farm that feeds, teaches, and inspires the next generation.

No farm experience, looking for homestead/small sustainable farm. Regenerative farming, living off the land, giving back to the land

Entering Farmer #20429

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.

My name is Andrew Wraith. I am the founder of the Ecoculture Project LLC, which is a start-up business looking to pioneer an innovative model for cultivating wild food on nature preserves, which can be harvested in a pick-your-own fashion (i.e., forage-your-own), and be managed using a permit based system (much like hunting and fishing). I’ve been working as the Agroecology Project Coordinator at the Willistown Conservation Trust’s Rushton Farm program for the past few years, while pursuing my Masters in Environmental Studies at the University of Pennsylvania (graduated December 2024). My studies were split between learning nonprofit management tools (finance, governance, fundraising, etc.) and ecology (Soils, wetlands, etc.).

My capstone research project (something I worked on for the duration of my time at Penn) focused on researching and creating a replicable business model for an ecoculture business. This project was the result of a literature review, interviews with practitioners and thought leaders, and from my own hands on experience starting a business and working at a successful CSA farm in Chester County. The result was a 75 page report (the beginnings of a book), a three year budget plan, a website, and a registered LLC.

I am looking to launch my business once either funding is secured, or a favorable land situation is identified (i.e., low-cost enough to justify proceeding without funding).

Future farmer, semi-retired, in search of one to two level acres of paradise to start a small farm. I would like to raise a few chickens, a dog, and enjoy the quiet. I have a medical background with a desire to become a farmer. My experience with farm animals is through volunteer work. I anticipate that this endeavor will take time to accomplish.

I am a young farmer currently working with my dad and brother on our dairy farm. Our farm is certified organic for over 30 years now. I am interested in leasing land to get started on my own.
