Farmer Information:

We are looking for underutilized farmland to grow hazelnuts on plus call home. The key things needed for a hazelnut orchard is deer fencing and land that is not overly wet.

I have over 40 years experience working with ornamental plants and turf management. Currently myself and my partner manage 2 separate orchards that are fully planted and are looking to expand.

We have a full business plan in place. I am also one of three founding members of a cooperative in which all local farms growing hazelnuts will be able to sell their harvest to. The co-op will then process and distribute several different hazelnut products.

  • Marketing Plan
  • Crop Production
Agricultural Degrees / Certifications:

Studied Ornamental Horticulture at Delaware Valley College in the late 80’sand early 90’s

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.
