Brad Farmer

Hello wonderful Permies community! 🌱🐄
We’re a happily farming couple in our 40s with big hearts, calloused hands, and a deep love for the land. We’ve built a cozy, productive little farm/homestead where every day feels like a adventure, and we’d love to welcome a sweet, like-hearted woman age (age 35-55)to share it all with us—life, love, laughter, and all the beautiful work that comes with it.
We steward about 40 acres total of vibrant produce (mostly veggies, berries, herbs, and flowers grown with lots of love and organic principles), plus a small herd of gentle milk cows, beef cows, and a fluffy flock of sheep that keep our pastures healthy and our hearts full. Between the gardens, the barn chores, and the animals, there’s always something to do… but we make sure there’s plenty of time for evening porch sits, homemade dinners, and dreaming about the next season together.
We grow almost all of our own food right here on the farm, and we run a busy little farmstore where we sell our fresh eggs, milk, meat, veggies, and preserves to neighbors who’ve become dear friends. It’s simple, satisfying work that leaves us tired but smiling every night.
We’re hoping to find a woman who feels a pull toward this kind of rooted, abundant life—someone who loves animals, enjoys getting her hands in the soil, and wants to build something real and lasting with us. Whether you’re drawn to the milking parlor at sunrise, the garden rows buzzing with bees, or cozy nights preserving the harvest, we’d love to hear your story.
We value kindness, open communication, a good sense of humor, and a shared respect for the Earth. If this resonates with you and feels like it might be the next chapter you’ve been dreaming of, we’d be thrilled to connect.
Looking forward to hearing from you!
With warm farm hugs,
Brad & Tina “The Mountain Farmers”

So hello again, everyone.I'm a really busy successful full time farmer in Tennessee on the Cumberland Plateau. I have an excellent local following. I have a farm-store in conjunction with my farming operation I do a couple of local markets and also work with farm to table chefs. I raise a few acres of produce as well as beef cattle, meat chickens and heritage breed hogs. I'm really wanting to buy sheep and or milk cows soon as well . I'm extremely knowledgeable and passionate about this lifestyle. I've been full timing it since 2010. If you are ready to hit the ground running let's get to talking and see if it would be a good fit for us. I currently have a 12 1/2 acre farm under contract with the owner. Who's willing to owner finance half of the price of the property but I have to come up with the other half of the money upfront and I only have half ($150k). So not only am I looking for someone to live this lifestyle with I also need a visionary investor . The property has a really nice two bedroom home, a 90 round bale hay barn a shop for working on tractors cars or whatever plus an office that's on that barn that I'm wanting to turn into a commercial kitchen as well as have a small seasonal edible and native plant nursery.  The property is already fenced and Cross fenced in such a way that you can easily move livestock around from one paddock into the next. There is also water run to every pasture so the infrastructure on this place is really incredible . I'm going to set this farm up as a teaching farm. Specifically geared toward interaction for my customers as well as homeschool classes, hopefully outdoor yoga classes and also offer a form of therapeutic livestock sessions . This property is 2 miles away from my existing farm store and vegetable operation and both farms would really feed each other so to speak. This is an incredible opportunity on so many levels. I have videos of the home and lots of pictures to share with anyone who is interested. I'm looking forward to hearing from you and hopefully getting the ball rolling on this place. I tried to fit as much information into this post as possible . Thanks y'all ! Oh yeah, I'm 49 years old I'm in great shape farming dictates that I lead a healthy lifestyle.

Hi there . How are you ?

Hello . I'm a very experienced farmer with extensive produce growing equipment that is all debt free plus some heavy equipment as well that is also paid off. I do very well here where I'm at in TN but I'm open to other possibilities and new relationships, if you have land or want to partner on something and want to build it I can do it. I'm open to different situations.  My calling is to grow food so thats what I do I'd love to connect with someone who was on the same page. I really love my cows and have Berkshire hogs as well. Im not broke not desperate I'm just open to see what's out there and hear some ideas. I already have a big field planted this year so I have to at least see out the summer or most of it.
