Farming part-time for income
Updated Jul 15, 2025
Seeking
- 0-5 Acres of cropland or tillable land
Desired locations
Experienced farmer looking to help landowners/farmers access funding for the implementation of agroforestry practices.
Plan
For the last 12 years I have worked as a farmer and educator farming 3 acres of ecological grown produce. During this time I have incorporated different perennial tree and shrub planting designs on the farm to further diversify the products we have to offer and enhancing the biodiversity of our gardens. I hope to work with landowners who are interested in exploring agroforestry practices that are right for their property and operation, collaborate on a design for these systems, and even implement and maintain these planting if requested.
Preferred type of opportunity
Desired farming practices
Practices details
I am looking to work with any farmer (conventional or organic) who is interested in implementing agroforestry practices (alley cropping, silvopasture, windbreaks, riparian buffers, forest farming) to help them achieve their desired goal. Whether that be to plant a timber crop, thin a stand of trees to establish a shady pasture, protect a stream running through the property, or looking to produce tree crops.
I have grown for 12 years using ecological practices and utilize biodynamic principles to provide structure during the growing season.
