Farmer Type: Vegetable

Entering Farmer #20561

I am looking for a farm to grow organic vegetables, and to keep cows and chickens.
I have some experience with a small kitchen garden and storing the food for the winter months.
I would like land to continue growing vegetables and also knowledge on how to run a farm with animals for the winter season.

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.

I studied agriculture, ecology, and food systems at Cornell (2021) and have worked on organic farms in California for the past 4 years, as both farm manager and farm operations assistant. I am excited to be moving back to the East coast where I have land access in Berks County via family. The 8-acre farm is currently being farmed by a local dairy farmer, who has grown organic feed for his herd for many years but is retiring soon. I have plans to start a small farm on this land where I want to increase the acreage of perennial food crops (apples, blueberries, and other specialty fruit crops) as well as grow organic dry/storage food crops. Though I grew up in Philadelphia, I have never farmed in Pennsylvania and will need to significantly acquaint myself with the region and resources available there.

I am seeking to learn how to farm to provide food to local communities and expand food availability. I have gardened and am an avid gardener. I have had flocks of quails and have not had true farming experience. I am seeking a smaller space or someone who would be willing to teach. I grew up in the city and have experience in corporate and hospitality.

I’m a self-employed husband and father, currently homesteading on small acreage and actively looking for farm opportunities. I grew up on farms in Susquehanna county, doing everything from gardening, to haying, raising horses, veal, and beef. As homesteaders, we garden, raise chickens, and preserve our harvest. I also own and operate a small farm supply business called Farmstead Supplies. I have practical knowledge and experience in most farm-related tasks and principles, but I am looking for a place to increase my knowledge and put it to work.

My goal is to raise beef regeneratively, along with pigs, chickens, and other suitable livestock to sell to the immediate local community. I’m passionate about regenerative agriculture practices that focus on building the soil and raising crops and livestock chemical-free.

As an NEPA native, this region is very important to me. My family has deep roots here and my dream is to farm in this area. Preferably within a 10-mile radius of Dalton, PA (Lackawanna County)

I’m open to both purchase and lease opportunities.

Im relatively inexperienced in farming specifically but have a group of people whom have the drive and skill spread to tackle most things. We hope to start a small farm, grow various crops and if possible run a non profit for people with special needs, and or horticultural therapy.
