We are a couple currently in college looking for land in Cumberland or York County (or a 45 minute radius from Harrisburg) for crop production. Ideally, we would like to have 7-15 acres for a farmstead operation. We are planning to do a permaculture orchard and lavender field along with growing commodity crops, specialty crops, spices, and vegetables. I specialize in animals and my partner specializes in horticulture and business.

I am a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner looking for the perfect space to create a therapeutic farm. My vision includes paved, wheelchair accessible paths, places for clients to sit and enjoy nature and animals, and using the land for family as well. I currently operate a small private practice and want to expand services.

I have 8 years of diversified organic vegetable farming experience. I am looking to start my own operation. I want to start an operation the is low-till with very intentional mechanization to maximize throughput and profit without compromising respect for labor or land.
Systems efficiency is my bread and butter. Standardize, streamline, and simplify.

Ideally looking for 5-10 acres in the Adams County area, preferably Fairfield or surrounding areas such as Orrtanna, Gettysburg; however will consider larger if within budget. Small farm property for horses, possible boarding and training business- current horse owners and daughter (currently in high school) planning equine vet career in college, so this would be a multigenerational farm to be passed down. Would like to incorporate a small agribusiness venture if possible, depending on location and zoning or a complimentary farming opportunity on property for crop production or hay production. Can be unimproved land, property needing clean up or work or current use. Ability to build one home eventually on property would be a bonus, but not required. Would love to find a property that was once used for horses and needs updating to bring it back to life and continue to be farm property instead of being developed!

My husband and I have 5 children and one one the way. We seek to grow as much food as we can for ourselves, our family and our neighbors. We are currently homesteading on 3.7 acres and have a small flock of dairy sheep that we rotationally graze (5 ewes and a ram), as well as a few dairy goats and a flock of laying hens. We are highly motivated to prevent the hostile take over of American farmland by entities that have no concern for the people of this country or for the health and well-being of our children. My husband and I are in our early thirties we have no background in farming prior to running our little homestead, but we are willing to learn and work hard, as hard as we can so that our children (and their children) have a future in this great state of Pennsylvania.
My grandpa grew up on a family farm in SE PA but left farming to work for a food corporation, and now two generations later we are trying to find our way back to farming real food for real people. My husband has a phd in math and is currently working as a data scientist. His work is fully remote so he is able to be very involved with the homestead chores. I previously worked as a communications coordinator for a nonprofit, I managed all the social media for that organization so I would be prepared to create marketing campaigns for any future farm endeavor via social media. I am currently a stay-at-home and homeschooling mom for our five soon to be six children.

Grew up in my grandmothers garden that she always tended as my grandfather was a steel worker and layoffs were always unexpected. She always made sure that there was food available for any unexpected turn in life. I have some experience in my own garden but would love to expand that in a larger way for crop productions and possibly some animals in the future. Would also love to be able to expand in the future to a community space for people in the area to come learn about growing your own food and be able to exchange some casual labor for food!
I also have some experience in trail management for a natural preserve and maintaining native flora while combating invasive species. My mother is an herbalist and forager and it would be amazing to grow herbs that she could use for community medicine as well

I’m an aspiring young farmer committed to building a long-term, sustainable operation that I can live on and grow over time. My vision is to start with laying hens, meat goats, bees, and diverse vegetable crops, with a focus on regenerative practices and ethical animal care.
My goal is to create a productive, hands-on farm that supports both myself and my local community — eventually expanding into a full-time livelihood rooted in stewardship, hard work, and connection to the land. I’m looking for an opportunity to begin small, learn continuously, and develop a thriving farm I can call home for years to come.
