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.

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’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.

Im relatively inexperienced in farming specifically but have a group of people whom have the drive and skill spread to tackle most things. We hope to start a small farm, grow various crops and if possible run a non profit for people with special needs, and or horticultural therapy.

I am currently active duty military (17 Years) serving in the United States Coast Guard. I am a few years from retirement and my family & I plan to move back to our home state in Pennsylvania. My wife and I grew up in the Poconos Area and post retirement we would like to move back and start a family farm together. We are currently in the early stages planning what type of farming we want to do, but highly interested in Agritourism (Christmas trees, orchards, etc). I grew up on a local horse farm learning to appreciate the land and the value of working on it! I hope to give that same sense of pride to my family as we set towards the next adventure of hopefully owning a farm in Pennsylvania! I would like to take away how to best formulate a business and marketing plan, as well as learn from other farmers in the area as I look for the best location.

I hope to continue or create a combination of productive and stewarded land use that serves as both a home and a community resource. Somewhere that supports food, culture, art, and care. I grew up in rural Midwest and have lived in the Philly for about 15 years. Now I’m ready to return to a more natural setting and deepen my connection to land and local community. I have experience with gardening and small-scale food growing, and I’d like to grow that into a collaborative effort with others who share similar values.
