Farmer Information:

I am interested in becoming a farmer in Pennsylvania. I have an associates degree in business from CCAC and have had some additional classes at Penn State University.

Since 2009 I have been employed in the title insurance/mortgage world. Although I have worked in an office for the majority of my professional life, I am a healthy, able-bodied individual. I have been researching and educating myself on farming for quite some time.

Although I have been exposed to farming at various levels, I do not have experience in farming, but am intelligent and enjoy learning new things. I would like to make the best of whatever land I am able to obtain for farming.

I would like to be multidimensional in the products produced by my farm all while carefully controlling costs. I think my education in business/accounting/marketing could be beneficial in the overall running of a farm from an accounting perspective.

I have read about the problem facing modern farmers and having no one to pass the farm off to. Although my parents were not farmers (although my fathers side has farmers in the family), I could see myself being someone they could pass their farm on to.

I would be extremely interested in how to capitalize on the recent energy grant programs and how to upgrade and maximize whatever farm I do end up purchasing. However up until this point it has been solely me researching, step one seems to be joining this database and hopefully obtaining more information.

I am prepared for the process to take however long it needs to take as long as I am able to maximize whatever opportunities that may be presented to me. I am not interested in rushing into anything without proper planning, that being said, I do not have anything restricting me from making whatever moves are required during the process.

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.
