Farmer Information:
My nephew and I are first and second generation farmers. I am 58 and have farmed for over 45 years as the second generation. My nephew is in his third year of farming and is a first generation farmer.
We are row crop farmers growing soybeans, wheat, corn and milo. We are looking for farmland to lease.
We use various tillage practices including minimal and regular tillage, no-till and conservation till. We are looking into regenerative agriculture and cover crops.
Looking for land in Lehigh County or Berks if near the county line. We would like to expand the operation enough for both of us to be full-time farmers. Currently we both have off-farm jobs but they give us time for farm work.
We try to be good stewards of the land, putting back what we take out, and we try to leave the land better then we found it.

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.
