Farmer Method: Not Sure

Entering Farmer #20590

I am beginning my farming journey. At this point, I am researching and trying to learn as much as I can. I am looking for resources on how to enter farming, how to get started with purchasing land, and what I will need to start from the ground up. I am passionate about being a part of agriculture in PA. Thank you for having me here!

I am a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner looking for the perfect space to create a therapeutic farm. My vision includes paved, wheelchair accessible paths, places for clients to sit and enjoy nature and animals, and using the land for family as well. I currently operate a small private practice and want to expand services.

I am a 27 year old hope to be first in many generations farmer. Myself and those I live with operate a nonprofit music festival. I tend garden every summer on our current two acres with chickens. I have done farm work trade in the past and my DREAM is to find a property to grow enough crops and flowers for the farmers markets and a few restaurants at least, and be able to create a space where those looking to learn can come.

Ideally looking for 5-10 acres in the Adams County area, preferably Fairfield or surrounding areas such as Orrtanna, Gettysburg; however will consider larger if within budget. Small farm property for horses, possible boarding and training business- current horse owners and daughter (currently in high school) planning equine vet career in college, so this would be a multigenerational farm to be passed down. Would like to incorporate a small agribusiness venture if possible, depending on location and zoning or a complimentary farming opportunity on property for crop production or hay production. Can be unimproved land, property needing clean up or work or current use. Ability to build one home eventually on property would be a bonus, but not required. Would love to find a property that was once used for horses and needs updating to bring it back to life and continue to be farm property instead of being developed!

We currently have1 high tunnel/greenhouse and are expanding to add at least 2 more. We raise meat chickens, laying chickens and swine. We harvest a multi-fruit orchard and several varieties of berries, as well. We live in a very recessed area, in fact, a food desert, and would like to work on filling that gap. I have over 30 years’ experience in crop growing on a small level and look forward to expanding and educating on a bigger platform.

I do outdoor, indoor, and aquatic gardening as a hobby. Our small yard has a lot of factors that make a good harvest of multiple types of crops difficult to achieve. Ideally looking to lease/rent (or purchase within reason) a small bit of land (less than an acre) to grow fruit, preferably organic, where I retain ownership of the plants and permission to sell the produce as a hobbyist venture should I so choose. My family has way more experience than i do in agriculture, so good cell service or a wifi connection is necessary to be able to seek their advice.

I am seeking to learn how to farm to provide food to local communities and expand food availability. I have gardened and am an avid gardener. I have had flocks of quails and have not had true farming experience. I am seeking a smaller space or someone who would be willing to teach. I grew up in the city and have experience in corporate and hospitality.
