Tenure arrangement description

Our preference is to purchase farmland in Vermont, though we are open to long-term leases or lease-to-own arrangements. Our five-year plan includes: Year 1—assess soil, improve pastures, install fencing, water systems, and shelters; Year 2—expand pasture-raised poultry and egg production; Year 3—introduce grass-fed Dexter cattle and rotational grazing; Year 4—add heritage pigs, expand crop production, and establish farmers market sales; Year 5—optimize livestock operations, strengthen local sales, and achieve greater financial sustainability. We seek secure, long-term land tenure to support these investments and build a resilient family farm.

Farm enterprises description

Abraham Farm will begin with pasture-raised egg production as its primary enterprise, serving local families, farmers' markets, and direct-to-consumer customers. Over five years, we plan to diversify into grass-fed beef cattle, pasture-raised meat chickens, heritage pigs, and seasonal vegetables. We will phase expansion based on land capacity, infrastructure, and market demand. We will use rotational grazing and sustainable farming practices to maintain healthy pastures and livestock. Additional income opportunities will include farm tours, educational workshops, and YouTube content that documents farm operations and shares practical farming knowledge.

Written business plan

In progress

Business planning description

Our business plan builds on 15 years of experience owning and operating our own business. During Year 1, we will establish farm infrastructure, launch egg production, and develop local sales channels. Years 2–3 will focus on expanding poultry operations, introducing seasonal crops, and building a customer base. Years 4–5 will introduce grass-fed cattle and heritage pigs as resources permit. We will manage growth through careful budgeting, profit reinvestment, and market research. Our experience in digital marketing, YouTube, and online education will support farm promotion, customer engagement, and additional revenue streams, helping establish a financially sustainable family farm.

Description of infrastructure needed

As first-generation farmers establishing a new agricultural business, Abraham Farm seeks farmland with existing infrastructure or the potential for gradual development over five years. Our priority is a property with a farmhouse, suitable barn, reliable water and electricity, farm access roads, and adequate pastureland. We plan to begin with modest poultry housing and fencing for egg production, then gradually add rotational grazing systems, livestock shelters, cattle handling facilities, and greenhouses as operations expand. We are open to properties requiring improvements and will prioritize affordable, practical infrastructure investments that support responsible, sustainable growth.

Access to equipment needed

Yes

Description of equipment needed

Abraham Farm will prioritize basic, affordable equipment and gradually expand farm purchases as we gain experience. Year 1: Purchase essential hand tools, a used tractor, wheelbarrows, lawn and pasture equipment, and basic fencing supplies. Year 2: Add poultry feeders, waterers, nesting boxes, and portable chicken shelters to support egg production. Year 3: Improve existing equipment and expand poultry operations as needed. Year 4: Invest in a compact tractor, utility trailer, and basic livestock equipment to support cattle and pigs. Year 5: Add equipment for rotational grazing, seasonal crops, and hay management as the farm grows. We will consider used equipment to minimize startup costs.
