My wife and I are seeking a long-term opportunity to live and manage a small, diversified farm or homestead, ideally one in transition to new caretakers. I’ve managed and worked on educational and organic farms across New England—most recently at the Good Life Center and Four Seasons Farm in Maine—and have several years of experience with vegetable growing, small livestock care, and farm stewardship. My wife is a teacher, writer, and experienced farm caretaker who has helped raised goats and tend gardens.
We’re drawn to farming as a way of life that blends care for the land with community and creativity, and we’re hoping to find a place where we can grow into long-term stewardship alongside those ready to pass their work on.

I have been farming for about 8 years originally growing tree fruits and now growing produce, primarily sweet corn. I am looking to start the next chapter of my farming career and interest in possibly mentoring under someone for a couple years in hopes of starting my own farm. I am open to and interested in all types of agriculture including both crop farming and livestock, I am also willing to relocate just about anywhere as opportunities in my area are very limited.

Engineering and bakery positions are currently held. With precision agriculture farming and bakery at the core of our ideas. A young couple with a plan to not depend on the commodity but to depend on the land. We hope to open our own farm and bakery, small scale, around 3 acres, with access for people, some wooded lot for firewood, and some to grow vegetable crops. We have experience with volunteering for 3 years and have grown our own crops across a variety of things. We are now saving capital to lease and require help. We wish to find like-minded people who can help us and us them when necessary to propel our future. And we believe Farm Link does just this. We have searched through the endless information, but Farm Link does it all. We hope to be able to discuss more.

I grew up on a farm in a small town in the Dominican Republic and had the opportunity to learn about Silvo-pasture and small-species production systems. This, combined with the principles I learned during my training and years of professional experience, became an important asset when starting a business that, while providing me with a quality of life, allows me to produce excellent food according to the principles of regenerative agriculture.
Considering the high cost of land and the difficulties encountered when applying for agricultural credit, my goal is to start the project, either through leasing or some type of production agreement, where a farmer allows me to use part of his farm and, in return, I can carry out maintenance activities on his property and care for his crops and animals.

I am about to start my farming journey. the costs of buying farm land and set it up to work are extremely high; and im not one for taking risks, so i want to pay off the loans asap. I had initially set up plans for an elaborate self sustainable closed loop greenhouse business; but it looks like starting off growing hemp may be the fastest way to do pay everything off before branching out to my initial goals. As of now my goals are to acquire land and a home; and set up as many acres as possible with hemp for the first year, and second year depending on where the financials stand, i may do a second year like that, or cut back on the acres of hemp i farm and begin the greenhouse set ups.

I began my farm journey three years ago with Cornell Small Farms then joining PASA in Pennsylvania. I have worked on three farms since and I am currently at that phase where my confidence as peaked and I am ready to pursue stage one of my farming goals. Stage one is the entry point where I start out small (poultry and vegetables) then eventually grading up to full-scale farming that will eventually become an Agritourism venture. The focus on my farm goals is to create an Agritourism venture that comprises of many facets of the farming industry at a community level where teaching, learning, and applying great agriculture practices together with permaculture and holistic management. I am seeking 5-25 acres of land access in the beginning through farmer-to-farmer agreements, working alongside experience farmers or any collaboration that would involve an entry point.

We are a couple looking to lease or purchase a farm property in Pennsylvania to live and work full-time. Our vision is to create a sustainable, diversified farm that blends agriculture with community service. We plan to raise goats(for milk and a mobile “goat cuddling” program), chickens for eggs, and vegetable gardens, along with pick-your-own flowers. A key part of our mission is running a CSA program for cancer patients in partnership with LAFF (Life Always Facing Forward), providing fresh produce and flowers to those in need.
We have hands-on experience with livestock, dairy, and vegetable production, and we are committed to maintaining and improving any property we manage. Our goal is to build a farm that nurtures the land, supports our community, and serves as a healing space for families, children, and visitors.

Eric is looking for a partnership with a landowner that is based on trust, respect, and freedom. He is seeking land that is as close as possible to Northern New Jersey & New York City population centers & sales outlets. He is seeking a long-term lease agreement with the landowner for a period of ten years or an opportunity to purchase the right property, in the right location, for the right price. His ideal location would have at least 11 acres of land available with opportunity for expansion as the business becomes more successful. The eleven-acre property would be farmed using market gardening design and cultivation practices and managed by a dedicated team of employees. Eric is looking for 11 acres so that he has ten acres of potential vegetable producing space with around 1 acre of space for infrastructure such as tool storage, truck parking, wash station, driveways etc.
Eric began farming in 2015 when leading MEVO.org he established the two-acre Fresh Roots Farm at Campgaw Mountain Reservation in Mahwah, NJ. In addition, he expanded his skills more in 2018 when he established the one-acre Lovewell Farm also located in Mahwah, NJ. Eric developed and built out all the needed farm infrastructure for these properties: greenhouse, tool & equipment storage, deer fencing, raised beds, driveways, irrigation, compost system, wash station / post-harvest processing, refrigerator, electrical system, and more. He hired a trained a Farm Manager and some amazing staff to help run the farms, enrolled MEVO in the JM Fortier Masterclass, and has spent his time studying successful farmers like Elliot Coleman, Ben Hartman, Curtis Stone and more… He has been involved in all aspects of farm production: greenhouse propagation, planting, cultivation, irrigation, harvest, wash station management, packing, and distributing MEVO’s products out to a CSA, restaurant accounts, and selling at the Ramsey Farmers Market. He is an avid beekeeper and has managed MEVO’s Honeybee Apiary for 10 years supporting 25 hives during his biggest season. Photos of MEVO’s Fresh Roots and Lovewell Farms are available via Eric’s farm portfolio and professional references are also available.

I’ve been working in greenhouse production for about 1.5 years. Part of the experience was in commercial production and part in production for a botanical garden. Personally, I have been growing my green thumb at home and have harvested veggies and maintain native and perineal plants. I’m hoping to acquire land to expand my passions and be able to host/offer community space for the exchange of education and knowledge of land stewardship among underserved communities. I see the rapid industrialization of the available farm land and the harm caused to our environments, and how important it is preserve it and educate the next generation of farmers.
