Farmers seeking land
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 that 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 New farmer with more than 4 years of gardening experience looking for close to 1 / 4 acre of land to grow herbs, greens and vegetables organically. Prefer a clear land with fencing, water and storage near Burtonsville. Would prefer a hoop house / green house but it is not a must.
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 fiance. 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 fiance and our dog, Open to any acreage. Fenced pasture with barn / shelter, water access, and storage desired.

Savoring MoCo’ s Agricultural Reserve
n We are Army veterans with 10 + years of experience and grew up around farming our whole life. Our farm will support our local community, our veteran brothers and sisters, and will help ensure access to affordable crops year round locally. We are looking for any size acreage to support our dream, veterans, church and community. Partnership, shared space, multifamily farming or any idea is worth a discussion.
n Community herbalist ready to grow! I have been a grower of herbs in gardens large and small for many years and completed the Beginning Farmer Training Program at Eco City. Working with a mentor through Future Harvest and utilize sustainable growing practices. We grow a wide variety of aromatic medicinal plants and herbs, some culturally relevant vegetables. Looking to steward up to one acre.
