Farmer Method: Organic

Entering Farmer #20556

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.

Both sides of my family have been generational dairy farmers. Growing up, we had a livestock farm with sheep, pigs, cattle, and goats. My sisters and I would wake up early each morning before school to do chores, then get ready for school. We were involved in 4-H, and in college, I joined collegiate FFA. I went to Delaware Valley University for Accounting.

My husband now runs a grass-fed only beef farm.

I want to get back into pigs and chickens. I have been approached by many people who buy beef from us, asking about pork and chicken. We strive to be as organic as possible, using no herbicides or pesticides. People trust that we will continue to do that, continuing into hogs and chickens.

I studied agriculture, ecology, and food systems at Cornell (2021) and have worked on organic farms in California for the past 4 years, as both farm manager and farm operations assistant. I am excited to be moving back to the East coast where I have land access in Berks County via family. The 8-acre farm is currently being farmed by a local dairy farmer, who has grown organic feed for his herd for many years but is retiring soon. I have plans to start a small farm on this land where I want to increase the acreage of perennial food crops (apples, blueberries, and other specialty fruit crops) as well as grow organic dry/storage food crops. Though I grew up in Philadelphia, I have never farmed in Pennsylvania and will need to significantly acquaint myself with the region and resources available there.

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 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’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’m about burned out on working in corporate america and living the suburban lifestyle. I’m interested in being self sufficient as much as possible as well as hardening myself and my family against enviromental and political changes. I don’t have much experience with farming itself, but I understand processes and infrastructure. I am also willing to learn whatever I need to in order to make the above goals happen.

I’m looking to own about 100 acres of land. Ideally this would have a mix of open fields/clearings and woods. My intent would be to use it as a wildlife preserve, and sustainable hunting tracts, horse back riding trails. I see the primary income to be boarding and caring for horses. I would also be interested in farming organic heirloom varieties of crops in a way that is sustainable. I’m open to raising cattle or doing other livestock work that fits into my goals so long as the work is sustainable and humane.
