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.

I am a veteran looking to make a positive difference and inspire others to learn about, and implement small-scale, organic and regenerative farming practices that support personal health, community access/involvement, and caring for the planet. I grew up in a poor family without access to land or resources that would allow me to start a career as a farmer, which has inspired my mission to “grow” these opportunities through education and access in local communities.

I am currently an intern in the “Veteran Organic Farmer In Training” program through the Rodale Institute. This is a full-time, on-site program built around classroom lectures, field lectures, animal chores, market garden and high tunnel production from seed to harvest, and market. Each farmer-in-training also works on developing a viable farm/business plan that is evaluated throughout the 9-month program, in order to be ready to start a farm upon graduation. As I write this bio (in mid-July), I am halfway through the program and have begun to develop my farm plan to include several focal points. Currently, my plan includes a startup operation around organic microgreens for a quick ROI. As I grow my funding and resources, my plan is to incorporate a flower & honey business that includes cut flowers, pick-your-own, and growing native pollinators to display and sell. As I finish my B.S. in Education, I am looking to incorporate education (via non-profit) in various facets of my farm. I plan to do this via community workshops, summer day-camps, a young entrepreneur farmer academy and a scholarship opportunity for underserved youth interested in a 4-H program. The summer day-camps will teach regenerative farming, as well as offer older children an opportunity to be counselors-in-training and/or young adult counselors. The young entrepreneur farmer academy camp will enable members to develop small-scale business plans & sell their products. I will also offer land/resource access for the 4-H scholarship opportunity . The facets for the non-profit/educational sector will include (on a small scale): microgreens, a small market garden, cut flowers/herbs, potted plant sales, Jersey cow and Nubian dairy goats, layer hens and the access for an agricultural 4-H student’s choice of animal/crops.

I own a 1/3 acre piece of property that supports a personal garden and ten laying chickens. All of my practices on my land have been organic and regenerative; however, I simply do not own enough property to grow my dream farm business. Please note that the formulated business and marketing plan questions answered below, are answered as “no”, simply due to the fact that they are not 100% completed; however, will be by the conclusion of my course on 3 November 2021. I am looking for land that is between 5-10 acres to facilitate this plan.

I am a trained forester and landscaper, my partner is a chef and barista, both of us have lifelong growing (gardening/farming) experience we use to support our community both with fresh, culturally relevant food and educational opportunities, healing kids and adults through reconnecting with land. We’ve worked the past 3 years to develop a sustainable urban homestead built around no waste, regenerative polyculture gardening (called Casa Sabera, part of a larger community housing organization ) , and . We are grant and donor supported and have a 501(c)(3) in education, and are looking to purchase 1-5 acres either with housing or able to be built on, can be partially wooded.
