Folklore Farm will be a regenerative farm specializing in quality pasture raised livestock, with a focus on providing high quality meat. To customers through direct sales, farmers markets, and restaurants. While also donating 10% of market head for each species to local food banks. The farm will use intensive regenerative pasture management, which will allow for low infrastructure and labor costs compared to traditional farming. Enabling the farmer to operate the business part-time alongside their spouses full-time employment.
To ensure maximum efficiency at minimum cost, Folklore Farm will lease land instead of purchasing outright. Since regenerative farming has the ability to restore soil health over time. Folklore Farm will be increasing the quality of the land. This will create a great tenant relationship with the land owner.
To achieve our goal of providing high quality livestock, we have chosen to focus on superior genetics and optimal grazing practices. We are confident that this approach will yield excellent results and provide value to our customers. With emphasis on genetics this will allow for additional revenue streams from seed stock sale opportunities.
To address growing consumer demands for nutritious food that is ethically sourced in Chester County Pa. Folklore Farm offers diverse products including poultry, pork, lamb, and potentially beef through various sales channels.

while I have no farming for profit experience I have personally owned some species of livestock and helped a dairy farmer in my youth.

I have 12+ years of experience growing native plants and marketing them as food and medicine for humans, livestock, pets, and wildlife. I work as a consultant designing and installing regenerative ecosystems for landscaping, silvopasture, organic permaculture, aquaponics, and retail/restoration nursery stock. My mission in life is to create new models for symbiotic relationships that make the environment and humans more healthy. I am open to leasing land but my ideal situation is lease-to-own or to join an established, complementary operation looking to expand and diversify their vision.

My complete bio can be found here: https://www.revivingwisdom.com/about

Phase 1: I am looking for space to expand my organic native plant nursery operation. This can be done in a relatively small space but I am hoping for larger fields to grow local ecotype seed and live-stake stock. I will host educational workshops on-site as well.
Phase 2: I would like space to establish native plant demo gardens to inspire customers. I will also grow bulk medicinal herbs for the community.
Phase 3: I am interested in diversifying the operation with rows of native food forests to fold into packaged + preserved beverages, jams, etc.
Phase 4: Native food/medicine rows could be used for silvopasture operations in the future (dairy, wool, grass-fed meat, etc.), giving pasture-lands a break for regeneration.
Phase 5: As the team and operation expands, I am interested in many other models for sustainable, regenerative land use at the intersection of human + ecosystem value.

I am also open to taking on an existing operation (regenerative livestock, orchard, etc.) alongside my nursery business.

No farming exp. Built two hydroponic garden systems. I’m an entrepreneur, looking into starting a farm and agritourism business in a county outside of Philadelphia. I did full-desk recruitment for two years managing 500k/yr in business, bringing in new accounts and filling the job requisitions, then worked at a nonprofit called For Our Future.

My plan is to find land to manage a farm, hedge bad harvests with hydroponic farming centers, and use any extra land to offer spots for Vegan food trucks, flower picking, and a skatepark. I’d like to change the way folks view vegan food and make beef and chicken less of a staple in American consumer’s diets.

Seeking mentorship and land.
