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.

My name is Cheryl. I am 41 years old. For most of my life I owned a small farm and auto repair business. I worked as a mechanic during the week, and taught riding lessons on the weekend. And in my spare time I worked as a trail guide for a ranch for over 30 years. Everything ended when covid shut me down. I lost my company and my farm. The ranch has since closed as well. I have always been interested in the homestead lifestyle and starting my own horse trailer riding business. I am trying to find a farm owner willing to work with me on purchasing a farm.

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.

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.

I worked for Hillandale Farms as a Chicken maintenance. I am an aspiring Christian farmer dedicated to building a faith-based, sustainable free-range chicken farm in Pennsylvania. My goal is to raise healthy, naturally fed poultry in a way that honors God’s creation and provides honest, high-quality food for local families. I value transparency, stewardship of the land, and ethical farming practices rooted in Christian principles. I’m seeking opportunities to connect with landowners, mentors, or partners who share the same vision of faith-driven, regenerative agriculture.

Currently, my fiance and I are looking to create a farm in which we can be self sufficient and bring about community joy. We began this journey not knowing much about farming but through researching, volunteering, and planning, we have been able to cultivate ideas that work best for production and cultivation. We both share a deep love for animals and agriculture. On the weekends, we volunteer at our local farm ensuring that we learn the best practices for starting a farm. Some tasks we do include cleaning horse stalls, planting in greenhouses, and operating the small farm petting zoo. We have come to love these tasks so much that they have inspired us to take a leap of faith and begin planning our own farm.

My wife and I are seeking a long-term opportunity to live and manage a small, diversified farm or homestead, ideally one in transition to new caretakers. I’ve managed and worked on educational and organic farms across New England—most recently at the Good Life Center and Four Seasons Farm in Maine—and have several years of experience with vegetable growing, small livestock care, and farm stewardship. My wife is a teacher, writer, and experienced farm caretaker who has helped raised goats and tend gardens.

We’re drawn to farming as a way of life that blends care for the land with community and creativity, and we’re hoping to find a place where we can grow into long-term stewardship alongside those ready to pass their work on.

Hello, my name is Tyler. I am 22 years old and originally from Massachusetts now in New Hampshire. I have been farming for about 8 years originally growing tree fruits and now growing produce, primarily sweet corn. I am looking to start the next chapter of my farming career and interest in possibly mentoring under someone for a couple years in hopes of starting my own farm. I am open to and interested in all types of agriculture including both crop farming and livestock, I am also willing to relocate just about anywhere as opportunities in my area are very limited.
