Desired locations
Retired Entrepreneur & Engineer seeking 10 to 50 acres for a diversified regenerative farm (organic veg, fruit, & dairy
Plan
I am a disciplined entrepreneur transitioning from the tech sector to establish a high-efficiency, multi-phase farm. My plan integrates organic vegetable production, perennial orchards, and a small-scale dairy/poultry rotation. I utilize regenerative practices to build soil health and sequester carbon. My approach is data-driven, focusing on lean operations and direct-to-consumer sales (CSA and markets) to ensure long-term financial viability and land stewardship.
Desired infrastructure
Equipment and infrastructure details
Preferred: Reliable water source (well, pond, or creek) with irrigation potential.
Optional: Perimeter fencing for livestock and a multi-purpose barn or shed suitable for cold storage (pack-shed) and a small milking parlor. Housing on-site or nearby is a plus to ensure 24/7 livestock oversight and operational security.
Preferred type of opportunity
Opportunity details
I can purchase a mini farm land with my money or I am open to a long-term lease (5+ years) or a lease with an option to purchase. I am looking for a landowner who values long-term soil health and is interested in seeing their land remain productive and ecologically vibrant. I am also open to "Owner Financing" for the right property, leveraging my business background to ensure a professional and secure transaction.
Desired farming practices
Practices details
I prioritize "Soil First" methodology. My goal is to use intensive rotational grazing (chickens and dairy cows) to naturally build nitrogen and organic matter in the soil, reducing the need for external inputs. I am committed to organic standards for vegetables and ecological management for orchards. I seek to create a closed-loop system where livestock and crop production mutually support one another.

Production goals
Phase 1: Establish high-margin organic vegetable and flower plots (2-5 acres).
Phase 2: Launch a pasture-raised poultry operation and a small "micro-dairy" (3-5 cows) for raw milk/local distribution.
Goal: To create a boutique agritourism destination where the community can engag

Experience details
I hold a degree in Electrical Engineering, I worked as a researcher for environmental impact, nature, which I apply to farm systems design and resource management. I have five years of focused self-study in soil biology, market gardening, and regenerative grazing. Growing up in a multi-generational farming family, I gained foundational experience in livestock care and crop cycles. I am merging this traditional knowledge with a professional startup background to build a modern, sustainable agricultural business.
