Farmer County: Susquehanna

Entering Farmer #20604

My partner and I are both looking to find a small parcel of agriculture land (5-20 acres) for sustainable farming. We intend on growing specialty crops, small livestock, and an orchard. Our goal is to grow food sustainably and alongside nature, with the natural ecosystem in mind. Our plan is to sell crops direct-to-consumer through farmer’s markets, online ordering/pickups, farm stand/store, etc. Our ideal location would be within 1 hour of an urban area so that we can deliver goods straight to consumers. We have been developing a farm/business plan, but it is still in the making, and we are open to suggestions. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out!

Some information about myself and my partner:
I have my B.S. in Horticulture (with a specialty in sustainable food systems) and an M.S. in Biology. I am a certified arborist and do tree work as my full-time job. I am also a member of the Pennsylvania Army National Guard. My partner is wrapping up her B.S. in biology, specializing in animals and wildlife. She has worked with Zoos, the PGC, and other animal/wildlife organizations. We both have handy traits, and a serious work ethic. Additionally, we both prioritize treating nature with respect, care, and stewardship. We also take pride in our work and would want nothing but the best for our customers. If you have ever seen the movie the biggest little farm, we strive to be like that on a smaller scale!

Driven by a desire for a deeper, more intentional connection to the land and our food systems, I bring a practical, self-reliant approach to small-scale agriculture. My experience includes working five-to-ten-acre plots across New York and Vermont, paired with a robust technical skillset in general contracting, carpentry, and constructing small outbuildings and experience in operating and maintaining essential machinery—including medium tractors, skid steers, forklifts, and commercial mowers—as well as performing basic engine repair, I combine a seasoned understanding of land stewardship with the mechanical and trade skills necessary to run a resilient, efficient, and profitable farm operation.

Looking to becoming a farm owner in near future for cattle, fruit, vegetables, other livestock

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.

Hello my name is Hannah May! My husband Blake and I have been looking for a farm for a year or two now. But with being so young and wanting to get into farming it’s super hard. We have a 10 month son that we want to be able to raise on a farm. I grew up on a fifty acre farm in PA so I understand the value of living on a farm! My husband has been around agriculture his whole life as well! I raised and showed pigs, goats, sheep steer, and chicken. We had 60,000 which we raised for Purdue!
We would love the opportunity to be able to partner with a farmer.

I’m a self-employed husband and father, currently homesteading on small acreage and actively looking for farm opportunities. I grew up on farms in Susquehanna county, doing everything from gardening, to haying, raising horses, veal, and beef. As homesteaders, we garden, raise chickens, and preserve our harvest. I also own and operate a small farm supply business called Farmstead Supplies. I have practical knowledge and experience in most farm-related tasks and principles, but I am looking for a place to increase my knowledge and put it to work.

My goal is to raise beef regeneratively, along with pigs, chickens, and other suitable livestock to sell to the immediate local community. I’m passionate about regenerative agriculture practices that focus on building the soil and raising crops and livestock chemical-free.

As an NEPA native, this region is very important to me. My family has deep roots here and my dream is to farm in this area. Preferably within a 10-mile radius of Dalton, PA (Lackawanna County)

I’m open to both purchase and lease opportunities.

I hope to continue or create a combination of productive and stewarded land use that serves as both a home and a community resource. Somewhere that supports food, culture, art, and care. I grew up in rural Midwest and have lived in the Philly for about 15 years. Now I’m ready to return to a more natural setting and deepen my connection to land and local community. I have experience with gardening and small-scale food growing, and I’d like to grow that into a collaborative effort with others who share similar values.
