Farmer Information:

Rutgers Turfgrass graduate 2006, working in ground care most my life. I have category 7 pesticide license. I garden and have a small orchard and make syrup every year. I’m blessed with the ability and knowledge to grow, however, have financial constraints making leasing land difficult.
I’ve been golf course superintendent at Berkleigh Country Club in Kutztown before moving home and taking a job as assistant at Glen Oak. I left golf for 13 years and worked for a small fence company which is now the largest on east coast. From there I took a job as a field operator pumping wells in Bradford and Lycoming for 4 years. I then got back into the golf industry and took a superintendent job for four seasons. Most recently I was the superintendent at Greystone.
Currently I’m working in the landscaping industry. I’m looking for an opportunity to farm. I am creative and able to make the most out of the resources available. I currently live in Northeastern Luzerne County, looking for something within a reasonable distance from there.

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.
