Looking For Land In:

Farmer Information:

Farm family looking to lease land to crop – anywhere from 100-500 acres in the Tioga County area.  No housing needed.

I grew up as a conventional dairy farmer for about 12 years and learned that milking cows was not really my thing, but I loved the equipment and working the land. So in 2009 I did an internship in Texas, for organic livestock production. There I learned that there was another way other than conventional farming, that actually helps people live healthier lives. Since then to pay the bills I’ve worked with my father doing a completely different business. But have always had the desire to get back into farming.

In 2020 my father and I started a business plan to start and ramp up an organic, no-till crop farm to the point where we can go full time and sell our other business by the year 2024. So now we are in the first year of the business plan which includes finding land and getting our feet wet in this new adventure into organic no-till farming. My father is a marketing genius and I am well versed in the way farms work and production. So together with our wives, we make a great team.

Honestly, we are tired of the office work that never ends in corporate America. It has been my dream to be a crop farmer, forever.  Now we are in the position to actually do it and be debt-free so we are going for it. The vision is to get as many acres as possible under our farm to start turning our local land back into high organic matter, high-yielding, low erosion land once again. It’s no secret that conventional farming is killing our land, whether it’s from erosion of the tillage, or the chemicals, my goal is to bring back farming to the way it was meant to be, big tractors and no synthetic inputs.

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.

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.
