Currently, my fiance and I are looking to create a farm in which we can be self sufficient and bring about community joy. We began this journey not knowing much about farming but through researching, volunteering, and planning, we have been able to cultivate ideas that work best for production and cultivation. We both share a deep love for animals and agriculture. On the weekends, we volunteer at our local farm ensuring that we learn the best practices for starting a farm. Some tasks we do include cleaning horse stalls, planting in greenhouses, and operating the small farm petting zoo. We have come to love these tasks so much that they have inspired us to take a leap of faith and begin planning our own farm.

My husband and I are looking to move to a rural area in or outside of the Lehigh valley. We have started gardening at home and have the desire to homestead where we would garden, have some animals (ducks , goats,maybe eventually cattle) ideally we would live a pond to fish or stream and also have wooded land for hunting as well. We would love to be able to turn this into a home business and work the farm and share knowledge and resources with others as well grow in experience.

I am aspiring to be a sustainable, organic, and regenerative farmer. I would eventually like to own a small herd of goats and sheep along with raising hogs, chickens, rabbits, and other poultry. I also would like to run a large market garden that grows organic produce to sell at local markets and through a CSA. Having the ability to do “pick your own” for produce like apples, peaches, berries, and vegetables is also on my goal list. I have been raising chickens and a garden for about 15 years (majority of my life). I have worked at multiple farms from working with equine to breeding sheep and goats.

I am looking for a farm where I can grow my experience and help the community. I would like to have enough pasture space to raise grass fed meats. I would also enjoy a space where I can create learning opportunities for the public, specifically children.
