My name is Bradley Blair, and together with my wife, Michelle Blair, we own and operate
Blair Family Farms. We are reaching out to explore opportunities for a long-term farm lease
and/or a financial partnership to help us advance our vision of a sustainable, regenerative
farming enterprise.
About Us
Founded in 2023, Blair Family Farms is a first-generation, pasture-based regenerative farm
dedicated to raising livestock in harmony with nature. Our mission is to foster sustainable
agricultural practices, enhance soil health, and contribute to the decentralization of the
American food system.
What began as a small family project when our eldest child joined 4-H—raising broiler
chickens—has grown into a lifelong commitment to ethical animal husbandry and soil
restoration.
Our Approach
We practice regenerative agriculture rooted in respect for “the chickeness of the chicken” and
“the pigness of the pig.” Our animals are raised on rotational grazing systems, allowing them to
express their natural behaviors while improving soil fertility, biodiversity, and pasture resilience.
This approach results in healthier animals, more vibrant ecosystems, and stronger local food
networks.
We are seeking a property and partnership that align with our values of stewardship,
sustainability, and community resilience. It is our goal to cultivate land in a way that restores its
vitality, supports local food systems, and builds long-term agricultural viability.
We would welcome the opportunity to discuss how our goals might align and explore potential
opportunities for collaboration.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Warm regards,
Bradley & Michelle Blair

The ideal situation would have housing available as well as limited zoning restrictions. As ultimately we would like to establish an on farm USDA processing facility.

We are looking for underutilized farm land to grow hazenuts on plus call home. I have over 40 years expierence working with ornamental plants and turf management. Currently myself and Michelle brooks manage 2 seperate orchards that are fully planted and are looking to expand. We have a full busniss plan in place. I am also one of three founding memebers of a cooperative in which all local farms growing hazelnuts will be able to sell their harvest to. The co=op will then process and distribute several diffrent hazelnut products. The key things needed for a hazelnut orchard is deer fencing and land that is not overly wet.

I am the founder of Grey Muzzle Manor Sanctuary, Inc. and TheraHerd Counseling and Community Services. Historically, Grey Muzzle Manor offered senior animal rescue, hospice care, and community outreach programs to help people and pets stay together. Grey Muzzle Manor also previously offered Hippotherapy through Natural Horsemanship. In 2016, focus shifted to outpatient mental health services.
I am a licensed professional counselor who has been practicing since 2016. Grey Muzzle Manor Sanctuary, Inc. is based upon a platform of acceptance, non-judgement, and presence. At Grey Muzzle Manor, animals and people heal together. The outside of the neglected animal often directly represents the inside of the client. They begin to heal together and as the animal heals, the client is able to see themselves in the transformation. These also happen to be attributes necessary for healing in client-centered therapy and how animals live their lives. Through these parallels, I’ve been able to grow Grey Muzzle Manor (and adding TheraHerd) through various programs in hopes that everyone, people and animals, know that they matter, they mean something, and they are noticed.
Grey Muzzle and TheraHerd recently and suddenly lost their home in the spring. I can expand on the situation further. The organization, myself, my family, my businesses, and my animals were all displaced. This also meant that we lost our safe space to offer therapy. I’ve seen so many lives changed and been witness to miracles. We are trying to rebuild after the aftermath. My only hope is that I can find a space to do this work again.

I studied agriculture, ecology, and food systems at Cornell (2021) and have worked on organic farms in California for the past 4 years, as both farm manager and farm operations assistant. I am excited to be moving back to the East coast where I have land access in Berks County via family. The 8-acre farm is currently being farmed by a local dairy farmer, who has grown organic feed for his herd for many years but is retiring soon. I have plans to start a small farm on this land where I want to increase the acreage of perennial food crops (apples, blueberries, and other specialty fruit crops) as well as grow organic dry/storage food crops. Though I grew up in Philadelphia, I have never farmed in Pennsylvania and will need to significantly acquaint myself with the region and resources available there.

Hello my name is Hannah May! My husband Blake and I have been looking for a farm for a year or two now. But with being so young and wanting to get into farming it’s super hard. We have a 10 month son that we want to be able to raise on a farm. I grew up on a fifty acre farm in PA so I understand the value of living on a farm! My husband has been around agriculture his whole life as well! I raised and showed pigs, goats, sheep steer, and chicken. We had 60,000 which we raised for Purdue!
We would love the opportunity to be able to partner with a farmer.

My brothers and I are eager to enter into an agriculture business. We seek to acquire a farm to operate with the intent of working and preserving the land. Combined, we have years of experience throughout the agriculture sector working with livestock, poultry, and food production. We would be most interested in any information that could allow us to help us achieve our goals.
