We are Carlen and Joseph Piludu of Florida, seeking 100 or more acres for cattle, chickens, and crop production. We have approximately eight years of personal livestock care experience with chickens, a donkey, and goats at one location, rather than an established commercial farm. We are flexible nationwide and interested in Pennsylvania. Our stated acquisition budget is $100,000-$250,000, and we are open to a larger financed purchase, owner financing, below-market sale, lease-to-own, phased succession, or operating before ownership. We want to develop a diversified operation with secure long-term access to land, determining stocking rates and crop acreage after assessing pasture, soil, water, fencing, and infrastructure. Commercial business and marketing plans are still to be developed.

My wife and I currently live in Carlisle on a very small property. We have had 12 chickens and ducks and a sizeable garden. We would love a decent size property to have a proper farm.

Seeking 5–10 Acres for Family Homestead and Small-Scale Farming in Pennsylvania
My family and I are looking for 5–10 acres in Pennsylvania to establish a family homestead and small-scale farm. Our goal is to live on the land, become more self-sufficient, and produce much of our own food while generating some supplemental income through the sale of crops and livestock.
We are interested in land suitable for a combination of vegetable gardening, fruit trees, orchard development, and raising livestock such as chickens, sheep, and goats. Ideally, the property would offer a mix of open or tillable land and wooded areas, with sufficient space for a home, barn, greenhouse, gardens, and animal enclosures.
We are open to vacant land, undeveloped acreage, or properties with existing farm infrastructure. We prefer fully wooded vacant land with mature trees. We will do the necessary work.
Affordable land with good agricultural potential, reliable water access, suitable soil, and residential building possibilities is a priority. We would also consider properties that require gradual improvements as we develop the farm over time.
We envision a practical, family-oriented homestead focused primarily on subsistence farming, with a modest commercial component to help offset operating expenses and support long-term sustainability.
We welcome opportunities to connect with landowners, retiring farmers, and others interested in helping a new farming family establish roots in Pennsylvania.

My boyfriend and I are interested in starting or taking over a small commercial horticultural business in southern Pennsylvania, ideally in York or Adams County, within the next few years (2028–2029). We are particularly interested in wholesale ornamental nurseries, growing shrubs, trees, and other landscape plants. We are still in the early planning stages and have limited hands-on farming experience, but my boyfriend has a background in accounting and would manage the operation full-time. We also have potential financial support from a family member with business ownership experience. We are especially interested in leasing an existing operation or working with a retiring farmer who might be willing to help us learn the business and eventually transition ownership. Our long-term goal is to build a sustainable, profitable horticultural business that we can continue expanding.

I have no professional experience with farming or agriculture. I currently garden as a hobby and have a few chickens. Im as green as they come with stuff like this. I have a degree in Network Technology, and the 6 years since graduating and getting this degree has been nothing but hating every moment of it. I want to farm to not only do something fulfilling for my own life, but also feed the community. I want to provide good, healthy natural foods to my neighbors and family. I know its what I need to do with my life, my calling. My goal, is to be able to replace my current job, allowing me to focus on farming. I want to employee like minded people, burnt out from office life to work in nature. I want to be able to be present in my future kids lives. In an ideal world, id love for this to be able to retire my wife

We have some additional business ideas for the property like raising some beef, pork, chicken, eggs. While having a market and some agri-tourism. I have a very general business plan, partly depends on the piece of property.

Jason grew up helping on his grandfather’s farm for years, he served in the Marine Corps from 2001 to 2005, he is a 100% disabled combat veteran and a firefighter for the Department of Veteran Affairs. (I) Florence grew up in a homesteading/foraging/hunting family. I met my husband in the delayed entry program for the Maine Corps. I have continued to homestead on every size property we have ever lived on. Our goal is to find enough land to form a family compound/farm as all of our children would like to join us in farming the land. Our goal is regenerative farming practices and eventually holding classes on gardening in the victory garden format as well as regenerative practices, preserving the food grown, and eventually opening a community cannery where people can come and can their food in a commercial capacity in one day instead of it taking days upon days. We will also have a farm store that sells the produce and products we will be growing and making. We do intend to offer seasonal agri-tourism as well so that the surrounding communities can enjoy a day in the countryside while also seeing how a farm works. While we will have some livestock, our main focus will be crop production.
