My name is Bradley Blair, and together with my wife, Michelle Blair, we own and operate
Blair Family Farms. We are reaching out to explore opportunities for a long-term farm lease
and/or a financial partnership to help us advance our vision of a sustainable, regenerative
farming enterprise.
About Us
Founded in 2023, Blair Family Farms is a first-generation, pasture-based regenerative farm
dedicated to raising livestock in harmony with nature. Our mission is to foster sustainable
agricultural practices, enhance soil health, and contribute to the decentralization of the
American food system.
What began as a small family project when our eldest child joined 4-H—raising broiler
chickens—has grown into a lifelong commitment to ethical animal husbandry and soil
restoration.
Our Approach
We practice regenerative agriculture rooted in respect for “the chickeness of the chicken” and
“the pigness of the pig.” Our animals are raised on rotational grazing systems, allowing them to
express their natural behaviors while improving soil fertility, biodiversity, and pasture resilience.
This approach results in healthier animals, more vibrant ecosystems, and stronger local food
networks.
We are seeking a property and partnership that align with our values of stewardship,
sustainability, and community resilience. It is our goal to cultivate land in a way that restores its
vitality, supports local food systems, and builds long-term agricultural viability.
We would welcome the opportunity to discuss how our goals might align and explore potential
opportunities for collaboration.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Warm regards,
Bradley & Michelle Blair

The ideal situation would have housing available as well as limited zoning restrictions. As ultimately we would like to establish an on farm USDA processing facility.

I am a beginning farmer that has a background in food service. I am particularly interested in permaculture and agrotourism. I’d like to work with other farmers/landowners who are particularly interested in heirloom and specialty produce and developing relationships with restaurant owners/food businesses. Secondary to that, I would also like to either start a CSA or help continue an existing CSA and possibly incorporate community-building activities as well; such as work-share programs, art sessions on the farm, guest chef dinners, etc. I’m also interested in maintaining/helping someone maintain a agrotourism business, such as a hipcamp spot, cabin, or bed and breakfast using produce grown on site.

I have experience with pigs and laying hens, would like to gain experience with sheep, horses/donkeys, and other poultry as well. I also have experience with small-scale organic vegetable production (less than 10 acres).

I am looking for a farm to grow organic vegetables, and to keep cows and chickens.
I have some experience with a small kitchen garden and storing the food for the winter months.
I would like land to continue growing vegetables and also knowledge on how to run a farm with animals for the winter season.

I’m an aspiring young farmer committed to building a long-term, sustainable operation that I can live on and grow over time. My vision is to start with laying hens, meat goats, bees, and diverse vegetable crops, with a focus on regenerative practices and ethical animal care.

My goal is to create a productive, hands-on farm that supports both myself and my local community — eventually expanding into a full-time livelihood rooted in stewardship, hard work, and connection to the land. I’m looking for an opportunity to begin small, learn continuously, and develop a thriving farm I can call home for years to come.

I am a first generation farmer currently baling hay and raising dairy goats. I am hoping to get into corn, soybeans and wheat in the future. I farm a little over 100 rented acres and am hoping to keep slowly growing every year. My ultimate goal is to someday farm full time.
