Acquiring Your Farm – free webinar series

January 31 @ 6:00 pm - 8:30 pm

Acquiring Your Farm

Free online training series for new and beginning farmers preparing to access farmland in New England. This six-session training series will put you in a position to make a plan and take next steps toward getting on farmland and gaining more secure tenure.
Learn how to conduct a land search, assess farm properties, identify your goals and set financial parameters, review pros and cons of different tenure methods, discover keys to successful communication, and more. This training series is organized and designed to provide a thorough introduction to the complex issues of farmland access and tenure.
Topics include:
  • Farmland tenure options
  • Identifying your goals & vision
  • Affording farmland & financial preparedness
  • Owning, leasing & other tenure models
  • Finding farmland
  • Communication & negotiation
This course is most appropriate for farmers with a year or more of farming experience, or who have a business plan. 

Accepted applicants will receive access to the full series, as well as relevant course materials and resources. There will be homework between sessions. Each session is unique, interactive, and will not be recorded, so you’ll want to be sure you can attend every Wednesday.
