Farming part-time for homestead
Updated Jul 8, 2026
Seeking
- 0-5 Total acres
- 0-5 Acres of cropland or tillable land
- 0-5 Acres of pasture
Desired locations
We are looking for a homestead to lease for our family. We own a cargo van company and want to live more simply.
Plan
I worked an apple farm, and ran the apple cider press years ago. My family is looking to homestead and live more self sufficiently. We are not looking to be large scale commercial farmers, but if our sustainability comes with a sellable excess that would be a welcome bonus. I also have light experience with chickens and goats!
