Entering Farmer #20337 | PA Farm Link

Entering Farmer: #20337

Looking for 20-50 acres to farm crocus sativus and other herbs and spices. I also plan on raising Angora goats for Mohair and Scottish Highland cows for milk and protein as well as laying chickens for eggs and protein.

I am a certified organic farmer whose intention is to use regenerative soil practices. I am interested in gaining a kosher certification and to remain true to the land and the ecosystem of the environment. I know that the more nutrient density of the soil the more nutrient density of the product and the better for the community.
