I have a family of six, we dream of having a property we can all live on in separate houses. I do not have much farm experience with a good friend of mine who has farmed his entire life has agreed to help. We are looking for a large enough piece of property for each of us to have a house and to also farm the land. 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.

Hey I’m 27 and looking to start a life as an organic farmer. I grew up in Orwigsburg, Pennsylvania I’ve studied business at Arizona State University I’m an Eagles fan. What I lack in experience I make up for in tenacity and very quick learning. I have family friends who have farmed for generations I could lean on for advice. In my mind a perfect day would be waking up taking care of the land I work and going to bed tired. Please give me a chance and you won’t regret it, thank you for reading this.

I’m a Navy veteran, father, and land steward with hands-on experience in agroforestry, orchard and forest care, regenerative agriculture, beekeeping, tree crops, habitat restoration, and farm education. I completed the Rodale Institute Veteran Farmer Training Program and have continued building practical experience through work with orchards, perennial systems, forest stewardship, pollinator habitat, tree propagation, harvesting, and community education. My goal is to build a small, diversified family farm and stewardship business centered around trees, bees, perennial food systems, native habitat, and responsible land management. I’m especially interested in orchards, chestnuts and other tree crops, nursery production, beekeeping, agroforestry, and creating a property that can support both our family life and meaningful ecological work. Long term, I want the farm to be financially practical, educational, resilient, and connected to the surrounding community, while also creating opportunities to help other landowners and veterans develop practical land-based skills, purpose, and stronger relationships with the land.

With the state of the world right now, farming is the one thing that must be protected the most. I moved to Central PA four years ago to get away from the city. Now I have experience in growing my own food, purchasing butchered meat straight from the farm, and hanging with the Amish as they showed me how to churn butter and bottle raw cow’s milk. Now, with the threat of data centers buying and drying up land, I feel the need to do my part. Finding a farm for sale in my budget takes research and resources. I desire to have land that benefits us while taking care of itself. Growing produce that can act as food and medicine. Utilizing the growing season to help keep the land healthy. Have animals that can contribute to everyday health and food, as well as therapeutic measures. Classes for people who want to learn. Events for people to just come hang out on the farm. Help keep building a society that does not solely rely on consumerism for all their needs.
