I’m an urban gardener growing herbs and mushrooms in Philadelphia. My farm will be a place to grow specialty crops for cafes in Philly. Those crops will be herbs for tea, culinary and medicinal mushrooms, and micro greens. My farm will also be an agricultural training center promoting self-sustainability for Philadelphia and New York City residents.

We will promote our training retreats at the cafes where we sell our specialty crops. We will train people in urban gardening techniques such as container gardening, rooftop gardening, how to get the most nutritional benefit from a grow tent, growing mushrooms, turning your yard into a food forest, and building greenhouses.

I am looking for land within a 3-hour radius of Philadelphia. I would like to start with 5-10 acres and grow from there. I am also looking for partners and mentors for this project!

My wife and myself have been involved in agriculture our entire lives. We have both grown up and worked on various types of farms throughout the years. While I focused on row crops, she focused on raising animals, and when we got together it all seemed to mesh very well. We both attended Penn State University to further expand our education in agriculture.

We currently farm around 100 acres of rented crop land using primarily 100% no till methods. The main cash crops we raise are soybeans and winter wheat, and we have also done some experimentation growing fall decorations such as sunflowers, pumpkins, and Indian corn. When the cash crops are not growing, we plant cover crops (rye, oats, clover, radishes) in the off season to keep our soil covered. We firmly believe in cover cropping to protect and enhance soil and water quality. By using sustainable practices and treating every acre of land as if it were our own has led us to prosper and be profitable.

We are currently looking for more crop land, grazing land, and facilities to lease to expand our farming operation. It has always been our goal to live and work on a family farm. We hope to work with you and come up with a farm plan/agreement that is mutually beneficial.

I am a 1st generation farmer from the Lehigh Valley. I currently manage a farm in Bucks County where we have over 10 acres in production. I have experience with organic practice farming, vegetable row crop production, greenhouse production, extended season/high tunnel production, cut flower production, perennial production, wine grape production, orchard fruit, and beekeeping. I have experience managing a 100 member CSA, farm store, wholesale program, and a farmers market. I have experience with farm machinery, irrigation systems and IPM. Id like to add benefit to the local community where I’d be farming in by providing access to fresh, healthy produce/fruit/products/flowers/honey. I am seeking a farm to continue my passion for farming. Id like to raise a family run a farm to continue to pursue my career in agriculture and support my family. An ideal situation would be a farmer looking to transition their property to the next generation (me), bonus if tractor and /or other equipment, etc was also available with the purchase. I am looking for a piece of land, ideally at least 5 acres, with a home available, with options to either sign a long term lease, to lease to own, or purchase.
