Farmer Information:

I want to start a lavender farm in PA for two reasons: honeybee production, I am a beekeeper already; and raising/selling lavender flowers. I want to make and sell soaps and natural oils I can extract from the raw products I harvest. I also want to continue my hobby cheese making venture.

I started beekeeping this year with three hives. Since February I have been doing a program with online classes, assignments and in person classes for which I should get a certificate of completion later this year.

I am a self-taught hobbyist cheese maker and plan to include a small dairy farm to make and sell homemade cheeses. I started by making soft cheeses and then I sourced milk directly from farms and started to do pressed cow and goat cheeses. I transformed a wine cabinet into a cheese cave and was aging my cheeses in that. I had great success making alpine cheese, Italian cheeses like Asiago, as well as “crottins” (goat cheese from France, where I am from.) I have been making cheese as a hobby for three years.

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.
