My husband and I are military veterans who have been homesteading since 2018 when we purchased our current 2 acre property. In that time, we have honed our skills with growing fruits, vegetables, berries, and flowers. We also raise meat chickens, laying hens, started beekeeping, making tallow soap, teas, and pressed flower art.
While we love our home, we’re beginning to outgrow our current property and want to continue to build upon this lifestyle for ourselves and our young son. We have dreams of expanding into raising cattle and other livestock, having enough space to expand our beekeeping operation, grow produce, flowers, and create products to sell at a farm stand/markets.
We are very passionate about regenerative practices and have the drive and willingness to learn as much as we can. We’re just looking for the perfect opportunity and space to grow.

Hi. I am a farmer’s daughter, an Early Childhood Educator, an avid gardener, and a true tree hugger. I want to live a self sustainable lifestyle while growing food for myself my family and my community. I have always been involved in CSA’s, school gardens, community gardens as well as nurturing my own backyard garden. I am currently volunteering at our local community garden in Holidaysburg where all of our produce goes to food banks. We have two high tunnels and over an acre in field for vegetables.
I would like to wake up and be where I want to be, my happy place my garden. I want to witness each sunset and sunrise and celebrate each season in the garden. I understand and respect the daily work that a garden needs. I also know it takes a team and want to involve youth programs and other non profits to assist with some gardening activities. I would like to operate a farm school and use the garden and land for teaching and learning about gardening and our natural environment. I would like to use recycled materials and use regenerative farming practices. I am familiar with typical farm animals and would consider exploring options for small farm. This is my dream and I believe it is where I am to be on a farm being a farmer.

We are a young family of 5. We’ve been living in the city since we’ve been married for almost 9 years but have always hoped to move to the he country and run a farmstead. The first 8 years we served in ministry in downtown Butler. Three years ago we bought a house with an empty lot next door and began growing and selling cut flowers, growing our own produce, and added three ducks to our homestead. Last year we decided to step away from full time ministry and begin pursuing our dream of farm-steading. David currently works building and installing playgrounds and does woodworking on the side. Allyson homeschools our three young sons and cares for our home.
We are hoping to grow our family and farmstead on at least 40 acres. We would like to have pasture to raise more ducks, chickens, and goats. We would need space to grow our cut flower crops and produce. We would love to have a water source and areas of woods as well.
Aside from running our farmstead, we want to use our property to share God’s creation with others and host church families.

I hope this letter finds you well. My name is Prem Sah and I am writing to inquire about the possibility of leasing or buying farmland that you own.
I am a beginner farmer with not many years of experience in crop/livestock. I am interested in finding a suitable piece of land to continue my farming business and I believe that your property would be a great fit.
I would greatly appreciate it if you could provide me with more information about the land, including its size, location, and any other relevant details. I would also be happy to discuss any terms and conditions that you have for leasing or selling the land.
Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to hearing from you.

I am a US army veteran, but I am a lot of other things as well. I am a former Peace Corps volunteer (agriculture in Mali), I am a proud father of two young children, and I am a former 4-H kid. I want to return to the rural life and give my kids the life I had growing up.
Experience
– I grew up in a rural area and worked on a (small) farm doing intensive vegetable farming
– I was trained and successfully ran animal husbandry operations in Africa (goats and rabbits)
– I am business and computer savvy and have been working in the corporate world for 10 years
– I am trained in skilled in basic animal medicine (vaccines, basic medical care, etc). While I would not perform surgery, I do feel comfortable with day-to-day care and standard practice
– My wife is no slouch either, she was a former water sanitation Peace Corps volunteer (how we met), and has been working in the business world doing marketing (online and real world) since 2010.
What I am looking for
– A small plot of land for regenerative agriculture (40-100 acres)
– I intend to primarily focus on small food crop production and dairy production- note, due to the large number of cattle dairy producers in the area, we will focus on goat milk, goat milk soap, and goat cheese products.
