Farmer Strategy: Farmers Market

Entering Farmer #20546

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.

On the legendary shores of Lake Erie, we raise terroir-driven lamb from birth to harvest on chemical-free, native pastures shaped by the lake’s unique geography and microclimate.

Alongside our lamb, we offer cut flowers, forest-raised pork, pastured poultry and eggs, rare Italian garlic, award-winning boutique spirits, and curated farm experiences.

We are a dedicated couple searching for a farm property in Pennsylvania for a long-term lease, ideally with a lease-to-own option. Our goal is to build a diversified, sustainable farm that supports both our family and the local community with responsibly raised meats, fresh produce, and handmade goods.

Our vision includes:

A small herd of meat cattle for personal and local consumption

Meat chickens, laying hens, and meat rabbits, with plans to wholesale rabbit meat to local restaurants

Dairy goats for producing artisan cheeses, soaps, butter, and other goods

A robust garden for growing vegetables and herbs

A home-based operation crafting bread, soap, baked goods, and more

Sustainability, soil health, and ethical animal care are central to everything we plan to do. We’re committed to creating a regenerative farm that produces high-quality, local food while respecting the land.

A huge plus would be the ability to produce hay on-site—either for our own use or as part of a broader land stewardship plan.

We’re seeking a property with good pasture, reliable water, and room to grow—both literally and figuratively. Open to creative lease arrangements with landowners who value local food systems and sustainable agriculture.

Let’s build something rooted and resilient—together.
