Updated Jul 9, 2025
Seeking
- 6-10 Total acres
- 0-5 Acres of cropland or tillable land
- 0-5 Acres of pasture
- 0-5 Acres of hayland
Desired locations
I'm looking for a farm to continue my homesteading passion and grow my regenerative growing practices.
Plan
I have 5+ years of personal home production experience gardening & raising chickens. I have become certified in beekeeping with Heros for Hives programs, but have yet to obtain my own hives. I plan on finding a farm I can continue building my homesteading knowledge by building an organic, biodiverse, regenerative farm that can provide excess produce to my community.
Desired infrastructure
Equipment and infrastructure details
Since I am still learning, I would prefer to start out with the basics and build up the rest myself. As long as there is a greenhouse/garden, water source, and housing option. I can build out the rest, starting with beehives and chicken coops.
Preferred type of opportunity
Opportunity details
I am open to different options. I am interested in the right opportunity preferably with the option to get some mentorship/learning and help a startup farm or expand an existing operation into more diversity.
Desired farming practices
Practices details
I am a advocate of sustainable biodiverse farming practices that focus on organic. I believe all farms should companion plant what is natural to their zone to attract and sustain wildlife populations, grow fruits and vegetables without chemicals, and raise livestock according to their natural instincts.

Goals details
I am a advocate of sustainable biodiverse farming practices that focus on organic. I believe all farms should companion plant what is natural to their zone to attract and sustain wildlife populations, grow fruits and vegetables without chemicals, and raise livestock according to their natural instincts. I’ve yet to decide what or how much I’d like to produce because my main goal is to learn everything I can about how to manage a small farm.
