LAND LINK Montgomery
A program of Montgomery Countryside Alliance helping farmland and farmers find each other...
Land Link has matched 33 new and expanding farmers with long-term leases. Here are a few of the farmers who are still seeking land through the program.
n An African with 30 + years experience in farming back in my country and 4 years experience in gardening here in the USA looking for one acre of land to produce vegetables and, if possible, a small poultry operation to give my community the best vegetables and chicken. I will soon complete the Beginning Farmers training program with Eco City Farm and would like to apply my new knowledge learned.
n I am looking for farmland available for lease or partnership opportunities. Ideally, I need land suitable for cultivating fresh, organic vegetables, including leeks— especially a special variety from Afghanistan that is highly prized for its flavor and is in strong demand within the Afghan community here. I also plan to grow onions, garlic, cilantro, and other fresh produce.
n An emerging farmer with 5 + years of agricultural experience. For the last year, I have been leasing land in Brookeville where I am raising a mixed herd of myotonic and angora goats, as well as a flock of laying birds with the help of my fiancé. I also established a turnkey regional honeybee business and have beehives at outyards scattered across Central Maryland. I’ m putting out feelers for a land arrangement now that would ideally include on-site private housing for my fiancé and our dog, Open to any acreage. Fenced pasture with barn / shelter, water access, and storage desired.
n Local farmer with 10 years of experience in cultivating Gotu Kola( Centella asiatica), aiming to establish a small-scale operation dedicated to growing and harvesting this table crop plant with long-established benefits for mood, circulation and healing. Seeking 1 / 4-1 acre.
