Entering Farmer: #20370

I am a 1st generation farmer from the Lehigh Valley. I currently manage a farm in Bucks County where we have over 10 acres in production.

I have experience with organic farming, vegetable row crop production, greenhouse production, extended season/high tunnel production, cut flower production, perennial production, wine grape production, orchard fruit, and beekeeping. I have experience managing a 100 member CSA, farm store, wholesale program, and a farmers market. I have experience with farm machinery, irrigation systems and IPM.

I’d like to add benefit to the local community where I’d be farming in by providing access to fresh, healthy produce/fruit/products/flowers/honey. I am seeking a farm to continue my passion for farming. I’d like to raise a family run a farm to continue to pursue my career in agriculture and support my family.
An ideal situation would be a farmer looking to transition their property to the next generation (me), bonus if tractor and /or other equipment, etc. was also available with the purchase.

I am looking for a piece of land, ideally at least 5 acres, with a home available, with options to either sign a long-term lease, to lease to own, or purchase.
