This might be a long shot but I am looking for land to lease in SE Pennsylvania (Chester County) to practice organic farming. If interested send me a message to discuss.

Hi John,
I have merged your topic into this topic. We have a neat feature here on permies where one thread can show up in multiple forums. If you want yours to show up two forums, you can hit the little "report" button and mention what forums you'd like it to show up in. Or, you can get PIE, and add it to three forums by yourself. I hope that helps!

Hello John,

I would try to get in touch with an organization that has a land matching program. These programs are designed to match farmers/land owners with those who wish to lease land. Where I am from in SE PA - I know at one point in time the French & Pickering Creeks Conservation Trust had a program like this before I moved to Colorado. I would contact them and see if it still exists. Northern Chester County is a beautiful area that can severely use farmers in order to keep developers at bay and preserve the historic rural character of the area. People in that area are very much into patronizing sustainable agriculture operations as well!

Good Luck in your search
Matt Gerhart

I know this thread is very old but I'm in Chester county and was searching for local posts and wondering how it ever fared for you?

Hey there, well I never found the right arrangement to pursue the above so I eventually just gave up. After Covid happened I moved back to the south and working on some land that has been in the family. Land is tight and expensive up there in Chester Co PA!
