Farmland Needed: Methods and Strategies for Finding Secure Access to Land

Farmland in Connecticut is increasingly expensive and hard to find. This workshop will cover a variety of methods for accessing farmland including purchasing, leasing, group land tenure, and more. We will discuss how to assess land for your farm’s needs, financing options, negotiation, and common challenges faced by farmers in our region. When not working for Land For Good, Will O’Meara is a farmer who operates on leased land, and will draw on his personal experience to help illustrate a variety of complex topics. Attendees are encouraged to share their own experiences and ask challenging questions in order to get the most out of our time.
