Farming full-time for income
Updated Aug 19, 2025
Seeking
- 6-10 Total acres
- 0-5 Acres of cropland or tillable land
- 0-5 Acres of pasture
Desired locations
I’m looking for 10 to 100 acres of farm land to do some regenerative farming on.
Plan
I am a committed regenerative farmer dedicated to restoring soil health and building resilient farming systems. Using practices like no-till planting, cover cropping, rotational grazing, and diverse crop rotations, I will grow nutrient-dense vegetables such as collards, mustard greens, cabbage, and broccoli alongside pasture-raised chickens for meat and eggs production. Focused on sustainability and land stewardship, I will integrate livestock and crops to improve soil fertility naturally, reduce chemical inputs, and ensure long-term productivity for the land and community.
Desired infrastructure
Equipment and infrastructure details
For Crop Production:
No-till planter or broadfork for minimal soil disturbance
Seeders or trays for starting broccoli and other seedlings
Hand tools: hoes, shovels, pruners
Irrigation system: drip or soaker hoses to conserve water
Mulch and cover crop seed for soil cover and protection
Row covers or low tunnels for frost protection and season extension
Compost bin or area for organic amendments
For Chicken Production:
Mobile chicken coops (chicken tractors) for rotational grazing
Feeders and waterers for birds
Fencing to protect pasture and control access
Nesting boxes for egg laying
Biosecurity supplies: disinfectants, gloves, boots
Preferred type of opportunity
Opportunity details
I am seeking the opportunity to lease or manage your farm to implement regenerative agriculture; a proven approach that restores soil health, enhances biodiversity, and improves long-term land productivity. By integrating diversified crops like collards, mustard greens, cabbage, and broccoli with pasture-raised chickens for meat and eggs, I create a system that reduces inputs, controls pests naturally, and builds nutrient-rich soil.
This approach benefits you as a landowner by preserving and increasing the value of your land, reducing erosion and chemical use, and ensuring its productivity for future generations.
Desired farming practices
Practices details
I will practice regenerative agriculture farming focused on restoring soil health, improving the environment, and producing real, nutrient-dense food.
On the land I farm, I will grow a variety of seasonal vegetables like collards, cabbage, and broccoli, and I also raise pasture-based chickens for both meat and egg production. I use practices such as no-till planting, cover cropping, crop rotation, and rotational grazing to build stronger soil and create a self-sustaining ecosystem.
Production goals
Goals details
I grow collards, mustard greens, cabbage, and broccoli using no-till, cover cropping, and crop rotation to build soil health. Chickens are pasture-raised and rotated through fields to control pests, fertilize soil, and manage crop residues. Plant collards, cabbage, and mustard greens in early spring and late summer; broccoli in late summer or early spring. After harvest, sow cover crops for soil protection. This system boosts yields, improves soil, and produces meat and eggs sustainably, ensuring long-term land health.
