You have stated that wulfwhispers is harmful as well as other things. Please explain. Met him this summer at farmers market and did not seem unstable.

Have land that needs a lift? Want to eat organic veggies, honey, milk and eggs from your own land?

Dynamic, responsible, hard-working couple with young child seeks opportunity to expand/renew your existing small farm, or create a diversified farm system on your land. We have energy, vision and know-how, but not the land. Perhaps you have the land, but no time, or are ready to retire. We would love to work with you to create a thriving sustainable farm, complete with bees, chickens, goats and organic vegetables.

We are both former farm apprentices and staff at Green Gulch Farm in Marin County, CA. We both offer extensive experience in organic vegetable farming, farmers market sales, fruit tree care, beekeeping, food preservation, and professional land caretaking. He has skills in basic carpentry, plumbing, auto & tractor maintenance, chainsaw work, welding, installation of gravity-fed water systems, as well as in tutoring elementary school kids and speaking Spanish. She is a former national park ranger and landscape gardener with skills in native plant restoration, irrigation system installation, and ornamental plant care, as well as writing/editing, hospice care, and creating paintings of fruit and veggies. We are currently working as land caretakers on a 40-acre California ranch, and are ready to pursue our farm dreams. We are looking for opportunities on the West Coast, but are open to all offers. Many arrangements are possible, including working as farm employees, land caretakers, farm partners, or farm transition/leading to future purchase. Housing is required. Please contact us at: goatmama09@gmail.com. Thank you!

Can you elaborate?

I know there is someone out there that would fit what I am looking for. I am working with a partner in starting an organic farming operation and provide CSAs locally. We would like to do this somewhere in NW GA, anywhere west od 575 to the Tenessee or Alabama border. We are not in a position to buy the land we need right now, but have some disposable income to start the operation. We are looking for one more partner that has has an existing farm that is not doing anything. Perhaps it is in the threat of going into forclosure and needs to do something. Ideally there would be living space for us and we would be happy to pay rent for the living quarters and work out a split on the gardening profits. We already have a green house and some other garening supplies and we are ready to roll. My partner is schooled in organic gardening and very knowledgeable. We are very simplistic and like a quiet life. If this sounds interesting, please respond and I will give you my number so we can discuss. jmont473@live.com

If you have been looking to acquire a Farm but find yourself without the necessary funding this opportunity maybe for you. I'm seeking an individual / couple / partners / family who have the motivation to be all they can be. Owl's Nest Plantation has been in business since 1992 and is a turn key operation with established retail and wholesale accounts. We presently market our fruits, vegetables and cut flowers through several Farmer's Markets, Stores and Resturants.
Our sales generate a solid annual six figure income.

I'm a mid-thirties wannabe farmer from the working class who will never have the money to buy land or equipment. Between observing my friends' three year old farm, doing an apprenticeship on a fruit farm, and living in the country for 6 months now, I've observed that farming is a really expensive undertaking that can lead to a poor quality of life if there aren't enough people involved.

I'd like to work with people who have or want to start an organic or beyond-organic farm. I'd like to raise pastured poultry for eggs and meat, and to eventually grow as much of their feed as possible. I'd love to work with others on these projects, as well as growing most of our own food.

About me: I'm 34, female, a college graduate and Latin Americanist of sorts. I'm living on a farm in California's Yolo County that is owned by a man with Alzheimer's who hasn't taken much care of the place in the last decade- it's pretty depressing, and I don't think it is a good place to invest much energy into. Plus, working full-time off farm, I don't have time to devote to effectively keeping the rats out. It's not cool.

I eat really healthy (few food vices) and intend to keep eating that way. I do eat meat, but not fish. I need a lot of personal time/space, but I do value having others right nearby. I lived somewhat polyamorously with my cityboy partner for 5 years until this spring, when I had to get out of the city. I currently have an office job and it needs to end. I like to take pictures. I only have dialup these days and need high-speed internet.

I grew up on the east coast and would rather not live in a place that has cold winters. I love hot weather, and have experienced plenty of cold and ice. I read a lot.

I am a medical cannabis patient, which is one of many reasons why I would prefer to stay in California. I am pretty anal about cleanliness around the house, and I have multiple chemical sensitivities, so I'd rather have my own living space. I am very interested in natural building, and of course in building housing for poultry and other animals, although I think I have more skills than tools, and that's not saying much. I need more experience. I'm interested in things like intentional community, cohousing, permaculture, agriculture, farm, collectives, cooperation, honesty, cats, anarchism, energy independence, compost, health, etc.

If you're interested in starting a farm or inviting me to come live and work with you, please contact me: karenm97@ hotmail.com
Thanks!

Hello...what is on the property now and where is it located?

Regards,
G.W.

HI I AM LEASING OR LOOKING TO PATNERSHIP WITH THE RIGHT PERSON THAT IS WILLING TO INVEST, TO DO ANYTHING WITH MY LAND.THE LAND IS LOCATED IN MANATEE COUNTY FLORIDA IN MYAKKA CITY IS APROX 8 ACRES.( AGRICULTURE)

Hi Kenneth,

I may have the opportunity that your searching for in South Carolina. (Owl's Nest Plantation. If your still seeking. Send me an email at roan_stallion@yahoo.com

I'm a farmer with a 40 acre farm of high qulity land that is looking for a possible limited partner. I just bought this place two years ago but have experience in a number of areas however I'm running this place solo and its a lot of work. I'm also an excelent artisan baker and have recently been asked by a local newspaper to teach a master class on Artisan baking but I don't really want to be a baker full time. Organic farming is my pasion though I do love baking and producing world class artison bread. One of my plans is to get a CSA going incorprating the bread into it to distinguish it for other CSA's. I thought bringing a limited supply to farmers markets could help encourage people to join the CSA in order to get a more reliable supply of bread along with their produce, probably a French loaf and a rotating specialty one that would include ones like Potato Rosemary, New York deli rye, Pane siciliano, Swedish rye, Blue cheese and Walnut etc, then seasonal and holiday ones like Stollen, Chocolate Cherry, Pantone, Cranberry Walnut, various 100% whole grain breads using mashes and soakers, etc. I use no baking yeast, only natural ferments and extended fermentaions for that great European flavor. We could extend the Bread CSA into the winter along with produce we could grow in hoop houses like lettuces, spinach etc and items that keep like potatos winter squash jams too many items to mention. I made some killer jam using my Pears and crytalized ginger that is just awesome. I grow pumpkins with naked seeds I roast and sell as snacks, all sorts of stuff we can sell under Ohio Cottage industry laws. I plan to plant more fruit trees to expand that and have 1000 strawberry plants and an Acre of Asparagus that I started this year. I plan to put in a number of varieties of Raspberries, blueberries and other fruits next year. I have many such ideas and am open to others but its hard promoting ones self and keeping the farm going at the same time. My goal is to move into the Columbus markets as they are the most lucrative in the area though its about 50 or 60 miles away.

I have a house that is very large and can be subdivided if necessary but it would have a shared Kitchen in that case. THe older part of the house was built in 1880 and the newer part in the 1990's. It needs work but there is a lot of room. The older part has 3 bedrooms. There are three bathrooms but one needs work and a new bathtub. The newer part is big but it only has one bedroom so I'll be taking that part as I'm a single man aged 52. I don't want any indoor cats or dogs as I have a Parrot that I raised from a hatchling that I care a lot about, like a child. Outdoor animals are fine however theycan't run loose as its against the law here though I want to put up a fence around the garden and could use some doge to control pests like raccons and deer. At the mometn the coyotes keep the rabits down but I have had a problem with local dogs tearing up my garden and I don't tolerate that becasue I simply can't jeopardixe mu livelihood. There is also a cabin but it has no plumbing though it does have heat and electricity. I might turn that into a licenced kitchen but that will be down the road. I do plan to build a good sized brick oven however and might incorporate that into the fireplace in the cabin

What I need is a motivated self starter, or maybe even a family if they are motivated enough, with some skills, especially marketing, to help me get this place moving. I want somebody I can see as an equal and who has ideas and the strength of character to persevere as I do. I left a $120,000 a year job to do this as I think its a better life and I like making my own way in this world in as self sufficient and as sustainable manner as possible while walking lightly upon the earth. I don't ever plan to work for anybody else again. I do want to emphasize the fact that I'm not looking for an employee, I don't have the time or inclination to hold sombody's hand. I will teach you what I know and I hope you can teach me as well but you have to bring some useful skills to the table, I need help, not somebody I have to carry. There are plenty of those people here already and they are of no use to me, believe me I've found that out the hard way and I'm not into repeating history. I can make some allowances for a very motived person however. I can fill in the gaps but I need somebody that can usually work independantly. Don't expect things to be easy, I'm just now getting this place up and running but you will be involved in the growth of this place from the ground up. We can have a lot of fun doing it but we will have to work very hard as well and each person has to carry their weight. You may have noticed that I tell it like it is, no point in dressing it up and creating false expectations.

One last thing, Its no fun working with somebody with a negative attitude who complains all the time even if they work hard. We all have bad days but its a lot easier if we all enjoy what we are doing and try to have a positive outlook on life. Joking around and having a good laugh once in a while is a better way to spend the day in my opinion and it makes the work day fly by. Afterwards we can make some homemade Ice cream, watermelon granita, and/or have a homebrewed beer or hard cider and have a good old time.

If I haven't scared you off by now you can write me at Wyatt_jones@netzero,com

Hi, I'm winding down my garden and thought it would be a good oportunity to take the time to meet a mountain maiden. I'm looking for a partner to live in a sustainable lifestyle and help build a permaculture homestead, maybe sell organic vegetables and eggs, that type of thing. I was hoping to run across someone like myself. I am very connected with the earth and nature in an egalitarian fashion and consequently tan, extremely physically fit and emotionally mature. I'm 5'11", 153 pounds [ thats a pretty fit and trim body and every babe who has seen it.....well they shake their fingers and say oooh, la, la!] I am a progressive and if your not quite sure what that means, it;s very simple - i have compassion for all beings.Although i don't dogtmaticly practice religion or spirituality, i have been described by those types as being "the purest of the pure" What that means is i vibrate at a very high level and radiate a lot of energy. This generally means that to feel comfortable around me you also should be a high energy positive person. I am a very tender man, as tender as the of petals of a flower, a very sensual man - as sensual as that flower's fragrance, a very strong man -as strong as that flower's seed. I have tremendous appreciation for the feminine sacredness and if you - like me - have been gazing into the stars at night and asking "where is my compliment?"well perhaps......perhaps your prayer might be sitting here in southwest Colorado waiting for your e mail. Oh and please do not press the reply box but rather send me a direct responce to rainbeauwulf@privacyharbor.com Thanks and Happy Trails.

Get out of winter, come on down and help me do hydroponics, have a spring that the local water God told me I could start a water bottleing company but I just want to grow some food.

Housing provided and all the food you can eat from the farm. Bananas, yucca, citrus, papaya, squash etc.

Have enough water for Tilapia but I don't know how to do these things.

I and wife are getting out of local farming – produce row crop farming. We’ve farmed with this cultivator tractor for years, but , unfortunately must sell. It is a significant opportunity for a small farm to get this rare equipment. This is a working 2 row IHC model H MOUNTED CULTIVATOR tractor. If you don’t know about row cultivating , ALLOWING GROWERS TO NOT USE CHEMICALS AND MANAGE WEEDS, like farmers did in 1920’s and ‘30’s , please don’t discount this message. Helping to get the word out on this equipment for sale WILL SIGNIFICANTLY help small farm growers.. I don’t want it to go to a tractor collector, who will tear off the cultivator (because they don’t know what it is…) and destroy it. I will be sad to see this sold for $500 and get painted to display…

It is being sold at auction this Saturday, Oct 17 at Cedar Grove , WI please see www.schmidtauctionservice.com for directions to auction, photos and info. or email call for photos if interested , serious only please, my time limited

Thanks,

We're a grassfed sheep dairy in upstate NY looking to diversify and become more sustainable. We have 50 acres of woods and 50 acres of pasture/woods. We have a small gardern plot and several buildings (apartments) on the property. In the past, we've done pastured poultry and pork. We did a huge patch of garlic last fall as well. If interested, I'd love to talk.

I'm currently working on a grassfed sheep dairy in upstate NY. They have a small garden plot along with 50 acres of pasture and woods. The farm is at a crossroads currently. We need help in the business end of it. Do you have interest in livestock? There's a lot of potential, but I fear we don't have any resources left. There's a two story building with 2 apartments that could be used by farm partners. Thanks.

I have been involved in dairy farming for about 20 years. At this point in time I have been running my parents farm for about 4 years alongside my brother who has been running a successful vegetable operation, that has outgrown our current farm. So now our farm is at a crossroads. Either the dairy operation continues on under my management and a vegetable operation is started up by someone who I bring onto the farm that I co-op with or...

I leave the dairy and go somewhere else and co-op with someone else's farm. I would prefer to stay where I am but I am interested in animal husbandry and crop production. I am very skilled in all aspects of farming, mostly in machinery operation, I have been driving tractors since I was 9 years old.

If I was to find a farm to co-op with I would need housing for me and my family which consists of me Jake 29, Carrie 32, Oscar 2 1/2, Moki and Luna our cow dogs our 4 katadin ewes and five heifer calves a couple of poly dome calf huts my 9' disc 8 wheel v-rake two cars and alot of passion for farming

call me at 608-627-1701

our farm is located in the Driftless region of Wisconsin near Viroqua and Richland Center

I would like to communicate with you about this dream; do you have an e address where I could write?

My e-mail is Please respond if Hawaii farm help is still open. Thank you

My wife and I have three boys and are seeking a more self sustainable existence on this earth. I have been in construction for the past 25 years, I am currently employed as the VPO of a company with annual sales between 18-28 million. I am looking to get out of the rate race, material possessions, and become more self sufficient.

I am open to partnering with a family, couple or person with the organic farming knowledge to share their knowledge and in turn I will share my knowledge in construction, marketing, business, sales, etc.

Where do I begin?

My dream: liquidate out of NJ, sell our 4,000 + sq. ft. home and buy enough land in the inner banks of NC, TN, WV. to sustain my family and I. I would be more inclined to purchase raw land as I would like to incorporate a new 0 energy dwelling utilizing passive solar design, Solar technology, wind power, etc. I am an experienced angler, boater, carpenter, roofer, mason, machinery operator, etc. My wife has a small raised garden that is comprised of tomatoes, squash, green beans, watermelon patch, etc. My wife is also starting to home school our middle child due to the inadequacy of our public school system. My wife also grew up on an Arabian horse farm. But we also realize that trying to run a small farm, starting a CSA and being self sufficient without getting additional experience and knowledge from someone would be foolish.

I am open to partnering with a family, couple or person with the organic farming knowledge to share their knowledge and in turn I will share my knowledge in construction, marketing, business, sales, etc.

I see a lot of internships available for individuals. Are there any farms that offer an internship to a family that you are aware of?

Any advice that anyone would be willing to share would be very much appreciated.

Thanking everyone in advance for your anticipated responses & help,

Hi Susan,
I'm interested in hearing more about your desires for your parcel of land.
My partner and I have Bachelor degrees in sustainable agriculture, and we have years of experience working on many different farms in various parts of the country. We've worked with livestock large and small, have started and managed organic gardens, and have permaculture training.
I'd love to hear more from you, and if you get me your email address, I would be happy to pass on our resumes.

Thank you.
Angela.

Seeking small family farm in Lower Hudson Valley for Organic CSA and mixed pastured poultry operation. Looking for long term lease/rental with option to buy or first refusal rights. Hoping to start earning sole income from farm within 4 years. Until then my wife and I both have flexible salaried positions.

Property should have 3+ bedrooms, outbuildings, pasture and good soil. Willing to put substantial time and funds into supporting infrastructure.

I plan on practicing all organic Ag methods including intercropping and green manure. If your property is not certified organic I plan on putting in the time and the effort to obtain that title.

A little about me:

I am the father of two. My daughter is 7 and my son is 6. My son is autistic. Due to my sons special needs I have realized how important chemical and pesticide free foods are to our children’s health. I attended the Culinary Institute of America and worked as an Executive Chef for many years. I am now an Area Operations Manager for a national restaurant company and will be transferring to West Nyack in the spring. I spent my childhood working on my grandparents farm on Long Island and have done work with Cornell Cooperative Extension and Nassau County 4-H.

I am looking to pay 1300 monthly plus utilities. This will leave me funds to improve the operation, facilities and establish a sound financial platform to ensure long term success. Willing to consider profit sharing after year 2.

We will treat your farm as a home and maintain the property in pristine condition. I thank you for your time and look forward to hearing from you.

Please email me at jeremyryaniphone@gmail.com

Hello: I am a CSA grower in N. Clark County, WA (Portland, OR is my market) and committed on this rented farmland until either May '10 or Oct '10, but researching and hopefully will find my next venue for growing food for market and ourselves. I own a house outright which is in south-middle Tennessee but I cannot liquidate it due to severe market issues there which could take 10 years to come back...even then, I will likely not get more than $40,000 out of my investment. So I am currently using it as a positive cash flow along with the SS Retirement check I just began receiving (I am a young 63)...together I have enough to exist so long as I am not paying more than a few hundred dollars each month rent/utilities. The best of what I bring is all the tools and skills needed for a serious growing operation. Let me hear an update and more on what you would entertain in terms of the someone without cash category.

* Sorry, I was not aware there was no way to EDIT my post.

We are a non profit with the goal of securing land in the most
" farmed " region of the midwest. You know the places that used to have fence lines, shelter belts, groves, pot-hole wetlands, etc.
If your not aware, take an excursion around the state of Iowa and report on the diversity you see. Your report will short.

The main goal is to secure land in the most isolated, farmed, tiled, bulldozed and drained piece of earth we can muster. Then plant indigenous trees and grasses, restore wetlands to replace the devasting loss of habitat for wildlife as well as to curb climate change,wind eroision, soil erosion and water retention and quality.

Secondary goals only if the parcel is large enough and after goal # 1 is met ) are to research organic methods and partner with idividuals, university and perhaps corporate entities.

The needs are many. There is room for you. LETS do this !!!

wow! sounds like we have a lot in common.
I reside in the driftless, a unique bioregion located along the Mississippi River, about 100 miles long and 40 wide encompassing northeast Iowa, southeast wisconsin and southern Minnesota. characterized by high rock bluffs, waterfalls,creeks, hardwood
forests and an ancient beauty. Headquarters to Organic Valley(LaFarge,Wisconsin) and a quiet revolution taking place in agriculture.
I have 30 acres located in a small valley in Northeast Iowa. Yellow River is at the foot of this valley; a creek runs up the center. The land is part of an older 40 acre farmstead. 7 acre bottomfield, several small pastures, 3 springs and 10-15 acres of harwood forest(black cherry,hardrock maple,hickory.walnut,oak, big cottonwoods along the creek) home to deer, turkey and many medicinal plants.
An additional 20 acres of adjacent up-top pasture is available for rent/buy and would be a great addition to this farm.
I am looking for a young farm family to partner with in the creation of a permaculture settlement that would serve to inspire and educate others, as well as make a good life for ourselves.
I grew up on small farm here in this area and, having gardened all my life, I have returned to this area to be a part of what I love most.
I have building/construction skills, experience and tools-most recently strawbale/adobe, pole framed. there is good rock for building on the land, and trees for framing. about 3 good building sites.
the Kellog Foundation chose to fund this area and there is a 50 thousand$ grant available to fund a food/fitness project. possible to partnership with a local school.
I have two draft horses(percheron) and some horsedrawn equipment, a small cottage and wood cookstove, cistern and a chicken coop. Interested in tapping the maple trees, medicinal herbs and milking sheep, bees. growing food,edible hedgerows, a greenhouse, chickens. micro-hydro application possible utilizing a small waterfall.

I am a mixed blood, Creole/Irish, educated in france and west africa;
a praise singer and musician, I have a masters degree in spirituality and geo-justice. I teach environmental ethics.

I'm impressed that you are doing urban agriculture. will stop here and see if you reply. My e is frogsongfarms@hotmail.com / phone 563-379-8079.

Hello Cynthia,

I am currently in W.V closing down two gardens on 150 acres. I am very interested in knowing if this position is still available. I look forward to continued correspondence on email.

Thank you,

Dear Dave,
I found your classified add on the Rodale institute webpage. I am very interested in learning more about your situation and about what you are offering.
I am 25 years old and have some experience in organic farming. I have a BA in biology and several years experience working on a variety of different farms. I am not exactly sure where I am going right now, looking at the possibilty of grad school or further farming experiences. I espcially would like to make my own decision and basically run a farm but without having to purchace my own land! It might be that i am the perfect fit to help take care of your land and run a bit of a farm for you.
I have several questions, and generally would like to know more about you: who you are, where exactly you are located, how isolated the place is, what you hope me to bring to the comminity and family, how the soil is...? Also would you be interested in having any animals on the farm or just veggies? Is anything planted right now? How long would I have to commit to? Lots of questions.

Anyways, if you could email me a quick message with a answers to a few of my questions, that would be great. I will actually coincidentally be traveling through Ithaca in early October, so maybe if it seems like a good fit we could meet up then?

Looking forward to hearing from you,

Janet
