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.

Engineering and bakery positions are currently held. With precision agriculture farming and bakery at the core of our ideas. A young couple with a plan to not depend on the commodity but to depend on the land. We hope to open our own farm and bakery, small scale, around 3 acres, with access for people, some wooded lot for firewood, and some to grow vegetable crops. We have experience with volunteering for 3 years and have grown our own crops across a variety of things. We are now saving capital to lease and require help. We wish to find like-minded people who can help us and us them when necessary to propel our future. And we believe Farm Link does just this. We have searched through the endless information, but Farm Link does it all. We hope to be able to discuss more.

We are a couple looking to lease or purchase a farm property in Pennsylvania to live and work full-time. Our vision is to create a sustainable, diversified farm that blends agriculture with community service. We plan to raise goats(for milk and a mobile “goat cuddling” program), chickens for eggs, and vegetable gardens, along with pick-your-own flowers. A key part of our mission is running a CSA program for cancer patients in partnership with LAFF (Life Always Facing Forward), providing fresh produce and flowers to those in need.
We have hands-on experience with livestock, dairy, and vegetable production, and we are committed to maintaining and improving any property we manage. Our goal is to build a farm that nurtures the land, supports our community, and serves as a healing space for families, children, and visitors.

Eric is looking for a partnership with a landowner that is based on trust, respect, and freedom. He is seeking land that is as close as possible to Northern New Jersey & New York City population centers & sales outlets. He is seeking a long-term lease agreement with the landowner for a period of ten years or an opportunity to purchase the right property, in the right location, for the right price. His ideal location would have at least 11 acres of land available with opportunity for expansion as the business becomes more successful. The eleven-acre property would be farmed using market gardening design and cultivation practices and managed by a dedicated team of employees. Eric is looking for 11 acres so that he has ten acres of potential vegetable producing space with around 1 acre of space for infrastructure such as tool storage, truck parking, wash station, driveways etc.
Eric began farming in 2015 when leading MEVO.org he established the two-acre Fresh Roots Farm at Campgaw Mountain Reservation in Mahwah, NJ. In addition, he expanded his skills more in 2018 when he established the one-acre Lovewell Farm also located in Mahwah, NJ. Eric developed and built out all the needed farm infrastructure for these properties: greenhouse, tool & equipment storage, deer fencing, raised beds, driveways, irrigation, compost system, wash station / post-harvest processing, refrigerator, electrical system, and more. He hired a trained a Farm Manager and some amazing staff to help run the farms, enrolled MEVO in the JM Fortier Masterclass, and has spent his time studying successful farmers like Elliot Coleman, Ben Hartman, Curtis Stone and more… He has been involved in all aspects of farm production: greenhouse propagation, planting, cultivation, irrigation, harvest, wash station management, packing, and distributing MEVO’s products out to a CSA, restaurant accounts, and selling at the Ramsey Farmers Market. He is an avid beekeeper and has managed MEVO’s Honeybee Apiary for 10 years supporting 25 hives during his biggest season. Photos of MEVO’s Fresh Roots and Lovewell Farms are available via Eric’s farm portfolio and professional references are also available.

Some knowledge with soil science, plant nutrition, pesticide application, organic growing practices such as KNF, soil/microbe/nutrient relationships etc. I’m just a young father with a dream to run a farm with his family. My wife and I never fit in with the typical 9-5 crowd and we’ve always wanted to start a farm but with society the way it is and having 2 children, it makes it hard to achieve those goals financially.

I am looking for a farmhouse/homestead set up. I have years of experience with livestock, poultry and am a penn state master gardener. I love gardening and would love to create a huge greenhouse, and grow medicinal and tea herbs. I also enjoy educating people about agriculture and sustainability. I recently left a DV situation with my children. One of whom is disabled and medically fragile, which is another driving factor for wanting to get back to a more natural lifestyle.

Hello! Please call me Si
My wife and I are in our mid twenties and looking for land to homestead/farmstead. We are in search of a minimum of 8 acres. Preferably more. Our main goal is to cultivate a good environment to raise and nurture a family and take care of our parents as they age; farming being our secondary goal.
A little about us.
I grew up in Mississippi and started welding with my dad from the age of eight. I always had a garden growing up. I would “borrow” seeds from freshly planted neighboring fields to plant in my garden. Always having a dream to farm, at age 18 I started working at a conventional row crop, corn and soy farm. Seeing first hand the destruction caused by tillage and toxic chemicals used sent me down the path of regenerative agriculture and permaculture. After which I spent 5 months at Joel Salatins’ Polyface farm as an intern where I learned so much about pastured livestock production and wise land management principles. Following that I spent a year at a year-round pasture based, raw milk dairy. This gave me a love for jersey cows and small scale dairying and allowed me to be close to my girlfriend-now- wife while we were dating. Since then, we’ve moved back to her hometown and married and I am now working as a logger where I am learning and putting into practice sustainable forest management.
My wife grew up in Lancaster PA. She loves all things plants. Whether it be natives and plant design, cut flowers, herbalism, produce or anything of the sort. Her first job was at a produce farm when she was 16. She then graduated early and started landscaping for two years before becoming the farm manager at a local herb, and cut flower farm. Following that she interned at Polyface, opting to stay on an additional year managing that years interns and different aspects of farm operations. Following that she spent almost two years managing a native plant nursery. She currently manages the home and our hobby farm which we hope to expand and improve each season.
We currently have a gracious couple that are allowing us to farm on their nearby property, in exchange we are helping them develop farm infrastructure and help when needed. We have gardens, ducks, turkeys, and a flock of laying hens that follow our sheep as they are rotationally grazed across pasture. Currently, this is all for our own consumption as we explore niches to exploit to be viable in the saturated agricultural Lancaster markets.
An ideal situation would be a rent to own or some other similar arrangement. Thanks! Silvanus Rempel
