I’m a beginning farmer looking to scale from homestead-level production to a small, diversified operation on 50–100 acres within 2–3 hours of Pittsburgh (and ~2–2.5 hours of Columbus/St. Clairsville). I’m seeking a lease-to-own (or lease-first, buy-after-easement) arrangement. The ideal farm has tillable ground plus woods so I can combine forage/crop production with managed woodlot uses (trails, habitat, firewood, and future agroforestry plantings). My near-term plan is to establish soil-building rotations (cover crops, hay/pasture), grow feed and market garden crops, and then add a small starter herd/flock as infrastructure allows. Long-term, I want a resilient, regenerative system that improves the land, supports wildlife, and serves local markets. I’m comfortable with conservation easements that keep the land in agriculture and can help lower the eventual purchase price. I’m organized, reliable, and ready to begin with a practical, phased plan and steady sweat equity.

Some knowledge with soil science, plant nutrition, pesticide application, organic growing practices such as KNF, soil/microbe/nutrient relationships etc. I’m just a young father with a dream to run a farm with his family. My wife and I never fit in with the typical 9-5 crowd and we’ve always wanted to start a farm but with society the way it is and having 2 children, it makes it hard to achieve those goals financially.

Hello! Please call me Si
My wife and I are in our mid twenties and looking for land to homestead/farmstead. We are in search of a minimum of 8 acres. Preferably more. Our main goal is to cultivate a good environment to raise and nurture a family and take care of our parents as they age; farming being our secondary goal.
A little about us.
I grew up in Mississippi and started welding with my dad from the age of eight. I always had a garden growing up. I would “borrow” seeds from freshly planted neighboring fields to plant in my garden. Always having a dream to farm, at age 18 I started working at a conventional row crop, corn and soy farm. Seeing first hand the destruction caused by tillage and toxic chemicals used sent me down the path of regenerative agriculture and permaculture. After which I spent 5 months at Joel Salatins’ Polyface farm as an intern where I learned so much about pastured livestock production and wise land management principles. Following that I spent a year at a year-round pasture based, raw milk dairy. This gave me a love for jersey cows and small scale dairying and allowed me to be close to my girlfriend-now- wife while we were dating. Since then, we’ve moved back to her hometown and married and I am now working as a logger where I am learning and putting into practice sustainable forest management.
My wife grew up in Lancaster PA. She loves all things plants. Whether it be natives and plant design, cut flowers, herbalism, produce or anything of the sort. Her first job was at a produce farm when she was 16. She then graduated early and started landscaping for two years before becoming the farm manager at a local herb, and cut flower farm. Following that she interned at Polyface, opting to stay on an additional year managing that years interns and different aspects of farm operations. Following that she spent almost two years managing a native plant nursery. She currently manages the home and our hobby farm which we hope to expand and improve each season.
We currently have a gracious couple that are allowing us to farm on their nearby property, in exchange we are helping them develop farm infrastructure and help when needed. We have gardens, ducks, turkeys, and a flock of laying hens that follow our sheep as they are rotationally grazed across pasture. Currently, this is all for our own consumption as we explore niches to exploit to be viable in the saturated agricultural Lancaster markets.
An ideal situation would be a rent to own or some other similar arrangement. Thanks! Silvanus Rempel
