Farming full-time for income
Updated Sep 5, 2025
Seeking
- 0-5 Total acres
- 0-5 Acres of cropland or tillable land
Desired locations
Hi there! My name is Kiki, I’m looking for more land to expand my CSA farm.
Plan
I currently farm on my .75 acre property and am looking to acquire more land to expand my CSA. I practice organic and regenerative farming methods. My plan is to allow my maximum number of customer to increase from 10 customers a week (due to limited land) to 80+. I’ve been having to turn customers away because I’m at capacity, I’m looking to change that very soon.
Desired infrastructure
Equipment and infrastructure details
A water source would be ideal. I don’t mind installing deer fencing but if the property already has it that would be great!
Preferred type of opportunity
Desired farming practices
Practices details
I farm with the future of the soil’s health in mind. That means no-till, no synthetic fertilizers, no pesticides and herbicides.
Production goals
Goals details
My business model is a subscription based CSA offering weekly boxes delivered to 3 different pick up locations. Implementing regenerative practices every season: no-till, cover cropping, compost amending and crop rotation. My goal is to increase sales in CSA shares to 20-30 a week in my first year with acquired land.
