Join us for a day-long conference on the challenges that farmers face in gaining access to farmland, as well as the tools and resources (both existing and imagined) to help improve access.
In-depth work sessions for:
• Retiring farmers interested in transferring land to next generation farmers
• Non-farming landowners that have an interest in making land available for farming
• Service providers, including land trusts, conservation commissions, town planners, lenders, etc., with an interest in fostering affordable farmland access
• Farmers seeking affordable farmland
Presented by MFT, with partners American Farmland Trust and Land For Good
