We are looking for underutilized farm land to grow hazenuts on plus call home. I have over 40 years expierence working with ornamental plants and turf management. Currently myself and Michelle brooks manage 2 seperate orchards that are fully planted and are looking to expand. We have a full busniss plan in place. I am also one of three founding memebers of a cooperative in which all local farms growing hazelnuts will be able to sell their harvest to. The co=op will then process and distribute several diffrent hazelnut products. The key things needed for a hazelnut orchard is deer fencing and land that is not overly wet.

I am the founder of Grey Muzzle Manor Sanctuary, Inc. and TheraHerd Counseling and Community Services. Historically, Grey Muzzle Manor offered senior animal rescue, hospice care, and community outreach programs to help people and pets stay together. Grey Muzzle Manor also previously offered Hippotherapy through Natural Horsemanship. In 2016, focus shifted to outpatient mental health services.

I am a licensed professional counselor who has been practicing since 2016. Grey Muzzle Manor Sanctuary, Inc. is based upon a platform of acceptance, non-judgement, and presence. At Grey Muzzle Manor, animals and people heal together. The outside of the neglected animal often directly represents the inside of the client. They begin to heal together and as the animal heals, the client is able to see themselves in the transformation. These also happen to be attributes necessary for healing in client-centered therapy and how animals live their lives. Through these parallels, I’ve been able to grow Grey Muzzle Manor (and adding TheraHerd) through various programs in hopes that everyone, people and animals, know that they matter, they mean something, and they are noticed.

Grey Muzzle and TheraHerd recently and suddenly lost their home in the spring. I can expand on the situation further. The organization, myself, my family, my businesses, and my animals were all displaced. This also meant that we lost our safe space to offer therapy. I’ve seen so many lives changed and been witness to miracles. We are trying to rebuild after the aftermath. My only hope is that I can find a space to do this work again.

I am looking for 10-25 acres of land to begin my operations that will consist of the following: 500 laying hens, 1000 broilers, a 1.5-acre vegetable garden, two cows, six sheep, a small processing mobile unit that can be eventually removed. I am seeking to form or collaborate with a farmer who would be willing to let me either use a portion of their unused land or construct a 1-5 year leases agreement. This would position my operation to immediately build soil nutrient, sequester carbon, give value to the property and or eventually exercise a motion to either buy or lease for long term.

I have 8 years of diversified organic vegetable farming experience. I am looking to start my own operation. I want to start an operation the is low-till with very intentional mechanization to maximize throughput and profit without compromising respect for labor or land.
Systems efficiency is my bread and butter. Standardize, streamline, and simplify.

Im relatively inexperienced in farming specifically but have a group of people whom have the drive and skill spread to tackle most things. We hope to start a small farm, grow various crops and if possible run a non profit for people with special needs, and or horticultural therapy.

I am currently active duty military (17 Years) serving in the United States Coast Guard. I am a few years from retirement and my family & I plan to move back to our home state in Pennsylvania. My wife and I grew up in the Poconos Area and post retirement we would like to move back and start a family farm together. We are currently in the early stages planning what type of farming we want to do, but highly interested in Agritourism (Christmas trees, orchards, etc). I grew up on a local horse farm learning to appreciate the land and the value of working on it! I hope to give that same sense of pride to my family as we set towards the next adventure of hopefully owning a farm in Pennsylvania! I would like to take away how to best formulate a business and marketing plan, as well as learn from other farmers in the area as I look for the best location.
