Husband and Wife team passionate about small-scale organic cut flower farming. We are looking for a small farm (3-10 acres) to expand our cut flower business. Interested in staying in the Pittsburgh area but would entertain other areas if its the right situation (even the east side of the state). The current business is more of a hobby (not main source of income) but would like to transition into a more serious operation. We are very passionate about building a balanced ecosystem on the farm and preserving the land as much as possible.

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 .
