Farmer Information:

We are a father/son team from Pine Grove. My dad has been raising crops and vegetable his entire life and has passed on his love of growing and caring for plants to me. We do farm a few acres conventionally but our focus and passion is in certified organic farming.

We are blessed to have some excellent employees, and with their help we’ve grown from a small 40 acre farm in Pine Grove, to covering a few hundred acres of mixed hay and crops in Schuylkill county. We are based in Pine Grove, but will travel up to an hour away depending on the opportunity. Our goal is not to be a large operation, but to do the best that we are capable of. That means that we care for the land that we lease the same as what we own.

There are no shortcuts to quality and we invest aggressively in bringing all of our land up to its peak fertility and production. Land that is well cared for not only produces premium crops, but it also enables us to pay higher rent to the landowner. We are happy to offer some of the highest rent per acre available in our area. We place a premium on our relationships with the landowner and are glad to listen and incorporate their ideas into our land management practices.

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.
