We own a farm in Gilbertsville, PA with approximately 16 acres of growing space. In addition to growing our own crops, we offer long-term leasing opportunities for growers interested in starting or expanding their small farming business. We currently have 3 farmer tenants and are looking for additional growers interested in leasing plots of land. We have a retail stand on the property where our farm tenants are able to sell their products. Farmers can choose from plot sizes of 1/4 acre, 1/2 acre, or 1 acre. The 1/4 and 1/2 acres will be positioned with the option to expand into larger acreage over time. Our goal is to increase agricultural access to more people, so we’ll encourage farm tenants to renew their leases for as long as they want. We have a diversity of products grown on the property (vegetables, fruits, florals, etc.) using organic and regenerative practices and look forward to adding more unique products. Leases can begin immediately. Farm tenants will have access to irrigation, office use, and barn space for tool/equipment storage, with the opportunity for additional resource sharing like cold storage. Farmers will have a voice in guiding what resources and services are available to the entire group of tenants. Please reach out if you’re interested in leasing land or if you just want to connect about collaborating.

The goal of this farm is to become an educational center, to learn and share ecologically balanced practices that promote sustainable agricultural and conservation of natural resources. This is an opportunity for beginning farmers to explore, practice, and create their own self supporting, diversified enterprises. Two barns, a mix of hayfield, pasture, pond, and mountain top woods opens the land to many possibilities. The right farmer/s will be able to expand their own dream on this shared land which will be secured for future generations through a land trust with a supporting non-profit board.
