I am a beginning farmer with a background in baking, homesteading, and small-scale agricultural projects, now working toward establishing a regenerative, veteran-led farm. My long-term goal is to build a mixed-use operation that integrates crop production, rotational livestock, and community-focused food production, beginning with several foundational acres. I am currently developing a full business plan and marketing strategy centered on sustainable practices, soil health, and value-added foods. I am seeking land where I can grow vegetables, grains, and fodder crops while building the skills and infrastructure necessary to expand into a full diversified farm. As a disabled Navy veteran, I am also working toward creating a place that supports other veterans through meaningful agricultural work. I am motivated, committed, and ready to invest in a long-term farming future.

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’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.

My brothers and I are eager to enter into an agriculture business. We seek to acquire a farm to operate with the intent of working and preserving the land. Combined, we have years of experience throughout the agriculture sector working with livestock, poultry, and food production. We would be most interested in any information that could allow us to help us achieve our goals.

Currently living on a homestead and would love to acquire more land. Learning agriculture as I go. Happy to use the land for preservation, farming, animals or green space. I want to protect farmland and learn farming practices.

I am someone who has found myself feeling very passionate about land conservation and farming for my family. I don’t have a lot of experience, just a backyard garden that I’m managing to keep alive in the Sonoran Desert. (That has to count for at least a point or two.)
My best friend and I are dreaming of a life where we can both live on the same property and grow foods for ourselves, our extended family, and maybe even a farm stand. This would ideally be located in Pennsylvania, so that I can return to my home state and be around family. I want fruit trees and berry bushes, chickens and goats, a very large veggie garden and plenty of flower gardens as well. I intend fully to create habitats of native plants, flowers, and trees for animals and bugs native to the area.
I just don’t know where to start or how to acquire land without putting myself in debt.
