I am looking to rent or eventually own a small farm where I can grow vegetables, fruits, grains, and raise a few animals. I grew up on a farm owned by my grandparents, and that experience inspired me to one day have a farm of my own.
I have hands-on experience caring for cows and horses, working with crops, and growing my own vegetables, fruits, and grains. Farming has always been meaningful to me, and I would love the opportunity to continue that tradition while building something of my own.

I grew up in Wayne county pa and worked a farm there for most of my youth. I’ve never been in a place to be able to own my own farm, but now that I have a family, my wife and I would love to be able to raise our girls to work the land. We are looking for space for us to be able to have our own goats, cows, chickens and crops.

My goals for farming is to continue to care for the land in a sustainable easy while providing nourishing products for the community. Growing up I always said I wanted to be a farmer and my first job was working at the local farmer’s market where I learned about local food and seasons. After college, I spent three years as an intern for a local organic CSA called Prescott’s Patch. Currently, I am a patent paralegal for the large equipment manufacturer Case New Holland.

I’m currently a Project Manager with 18 years experience in IT, business improvement and workforce development. I have a great desire to become a farmer. For the past 6 years I’ve been preparing in various ways: helping my mom with her 19 bed garden and small 10 tree orchard, taking classes on permaculture with people like Andrew Millison and Joel Salatin and others. I’ve had an indoor garden and even tried hydroponics (not so easy in an apartment lol). I’ve learned a lot about preservation, succession and perennial planting, earth works, building soil, no till systems, composting, mulching, silvopasture, multispecie rotational grazing, and managing water. ive studied a lot about micro farms and market gardens from people like Richard Perkins, Heifer USA, and the Sheperdess. I also did a week long “farm school” with the Climate Farm School in upstate NY where we visited a number of farms to learn from them and their business models and also get some hands on experience moving and milking cows using machines. I’ve also helped a friend farmer in west virginia with his sheep, goats and chickens.
My long term goal is to have a farm business that more than just takes care of me, that also helps other people. I would love to have a farm to table retreat or recovery program where people incorporate farming into their therapy.
I would like to become a farmer practicing regenerative and permaculture principles that can offer diverse products. I would like to do this with and for my family and be part of a community of people who prioritize land, animals, family and community stewardship.
I’m open to different land partnership arrangements but eventually I would like a farm of my own so ideally in the least, I would prefer a work to own relationship. I think one of the benefits of this program is the opportunity to come alongside people who have more experience and learn from their successes and mistakes. I recognize that some of the practices are new to traditional farming and would like the opportunity to also share some new methods. I wouldn’t mind buying a farm and the previous owners retire on the land, as long as there’s room for me to also live there and grow.
