Looking for 5+ acres in the Bucks or Montgomery County area.  Prefer a long term lease or lease to buy option.

I started operation on our small family-run pet care business in 2019 just before Covid as a side gig to help bring in additional money for our household, through Rover.com. Much to my surprise things took off very quickly, until Covid hit. Once Covid hit I was laid off from my main job as a travel agent, no pet care reservations were coming in due to suspended travel, and in addition, my husband’s Lupus took a bad turn in November of 2020 leaving him unable to work. These circumstances left me to be the primary financial provider for my family of 5 and my husband’s caregiver.

During all of this, I continued to build our book of business for our pet care business slowly and opened Stop, Drop & Stroll Petcare. We offer private dog boarding, daycare, and grooming for pups 40lbs and under. My business has grown exponentially in the past 9 months to the point where we are turning down clientele (which we really do not like doing).

With this new growth, we have fallen in love with the idea of the potential to open an organic dog farm! This would be a place where dogs feel at home, providing a low-stress and free-range environment to run and play all day. With that, I would also like to farm on this land to produce and organic dog food and treat products. I would like to have the space to double our current occupancy as our growth does allow for this expansion. With a 5-year projection, I would like to add a mobile grooming element to our business to expand on the grooming portion of the business and add a dog training component as a business offering as well.

Housing on the property is ideal.  If no housing would look at possibility of moving a large modular home on the property.

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.
