Farmer Information:

5th generation farmer. The last few generations were part time farmers while working off farm full time. I grew up on a small livestock farm in Southern York and currently manage my family’s livestock. I work full-time for the Commonwealth of PA, specifically in York County. I was involved in 4H and FFA, in my younger years. I raised and showed sheep, hogs, beef, and poultry. I lived out west in Colorado for quite a few years and moved back to PA three years ago. Currently looking to either expand current sheep flock, custom graze livestock for others, or add additional enterprises. I also have experience butchering.

Current Herd Description:

Family has a 60 ewe flock. I own a Jersey heifer, a nanny goat, a White Dorper ram, and three steers currently.

Agricultural Degrees / Certifications:

PA Farm Link-Tilling the Soil of Opportunity Farm Business Planning Course, 2007

Hello, I’m a farmer with a 26-year marriage and 2 sons. I’m looking for a farm (30 acres or greater) to put down family roots. I grew up actively farming 80 acres, with 5 years off for military service.  I have a strong mechanical/maintenance background, I was in 4-H beef club from 8-18, experienced with raising grain and hay crops, looking to expand into vegetables, and developing a CSA.

I’m well-employed in an 9-5 Federal job, have no debt, own my home, have an aggressive start on a down payment.  I’d like to develop a relationship with a farmer seeking to retire, but who’d like to pass on their tradition and allow me to maintain an operating budget as the ground is returned from fallow. My desire is to acquire a farm, not a potential development property, so I’m just fine with a few PA hills and groundhog holes.

We are a married couple with young kids looking for an opportunity to start farming. My grandparents were dairy farmers in Chester County and my cousins currently are dairy farmers in Montgomery County.

I currently work in the Conservation/Agricultural field in the Southeast/South Central part of the state. We don’t have much experience, several years working on several dairies and experience with processing/jugging milk, but I have always wanted to be a farmer and have a true passion for farming and agriculture.

Looking for a farming opportunity in which to gain experience, build equity, and the chance to raise our kids around a farm.

Housing on the farm would be preferred.
