Farmer Information:
We are a small family farm that focuses on producing pasture-raised poultry, eggs, and hay. This is our first year farming on the property we purchased a little over a year ago. Our aim is to offer a safe, sustainable, and healthy alternative to the products available at your local grocery store, which are often produced by industrial-scale farming operations. Eventually, we would also like to raise small herds of pastured beef. As a novice farmer, I am eager to network and learn from others who have established successful methods in pastured farming.

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.
