I will be leaving the military soon after 23 yrs active duty and starting a beef operation.

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.

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).

My homestead was created in 2021 as a livestock breeding program; however, it’s morphed into providing livestock education and interaction to my local community with the herd animals by providing cuddle sessions, special events, and family photography onsite. I’m looking for continued opportunities to expand business operations, marketing strategies, and increased education.

We are a couple currently in college looking for land in Cumberland or York County (or a 45 minute radius from Harrisburg) for crop production. Ideally, we would like to have 7-15 acres for a farmstead operation. We are planning to do a permaculture orchard and lavender field along with growing commodity crops, specialty crops, spices, and vegetables. I specialize in animals and my partner specializes in horticulture and business.

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.
