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.

My goal is to have a farm and have land for my children and grandchildren to grow our own food. I want to not only educate my family but our community as well. They need to realize that growing your own food has so many benefits. I also want to educate my community by offering farm to table dinners. I want to learn how to use the land better and learn better ways to make healthier soil. Growing is vital to our existence and we can do a better job by farming smarter.

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.

My husband is looking for a construction job to support our family as I will stay home with the kids and raise animals/grow crops.

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

As a first-generation farmer, I’m looking to turn what I truly believe is my purpose in life into a reality. I have hands-on experience caring for horses and chickens, and I’ve raised chickens and managed the daily responsibilities that come with caring for animals. While I’m still developing my agricultural skills, I’m eager to learn from experienced farmers and gain hands-on knowledge of regenerative agriculture, livestock management, hay production, and growing flowers and vegetables. My dream is to establish a diversified regenerative farm where I can live and work full-time, raise animals, grow seasonal cut flowers and produce, and potentially develop a small dairy and sheep operation. I’m looking for farmland to lease, rent to own, or purchase through owner financing, ideally with a home on the property and the ability to keep livestock. Nothing makes me feel more fulfilled than being in the dirt, working the land, and building a life centered around animals and agriculture. I know the journey of becoming a first-generation farmer will come with challenges, but I’m committed to putting in the work, learning along the way, and building something meaningful. It would be an incredible opportunity to learn from established farmers, contribute to the agricultural community, and one day pass that knowledge, education, and opportunities on to the next generation.

I am looking to establish a small, diversified micro-farm in Pennsylvania focused on practical, sustainable food production. My interests include microgreens and intensive crops, poultry, and small-scale fish production. I want to develop a farm that can produce food and income on a relatively small amount of land while allowing me to continue building my hands-on agricultural skills and knowledge.
An important part of my goal is making practical farming skills accessible to people who may not fit the traditional image of a farmer. I have two disabled children, so accessibility and creating meaningful opportunities for people with disabilities is something that is personally important to my family. I would like the farm to eventually become a place where we can develop and share practical, adaptable farming methods, skills, and educational resources with our community. I am looking for the land, experience, mentorship, and knowledge needed to turn that vision into a sustainable working farm.
