Farmstead Circle | media boilerplate
====================================

One-liner
---------
Farmstead Circle is a Virginia-only marketplace connecting homestead and hobby farm owners with verified farm caretakers and rural service providers.

About
-----
Farmstead Circle helps Virginia homesteaders and hobby farmers find, book, and stay connected with independent caretakers who can feed livestock, check poultry, and watch the property when owners need to be away. Caretakers keep 100% of their set rate. Owners pay a flat $15 platform fee per booking, or $19/month Harvest to waive it. Local Resources listings are free to claim; Founding Partner is an optional first-year directory upgrade.

Launch
------
Coming Fall 2026 in Virginia, with a waitlist open now and a nationwide expansion list for out-of-state interest.

Notes for reporters
-------------------
Farmstead Circle is not an agricultural employment agency or farm labor contractor. Caretakers and owners are independent parties. Background checks are not currently integrated; when offered they will be optional third-party screenings, not a guarantee of safety. Support for organizations such as the Farmer Veteran Coalition is philanthropic; Farmstead Circle is not an official partner of FVC.
