Have you ever considered making your land available for farming? Farmers in Essex County are looking for land to rent, from a small vegetable plot to livestock or crops. When you make land available to farmers you help secure a future for farming in our region, create economic opportunity, promote food security, and preserve our working landscapes.
This workshop with farm leasing experts Land for Good will help you understand your land’s potential for farming and what goes into a good farming arrangement:
- Benefits & opportunities of leasing your land for farming
- Identify your personal, financial and land use goals
- How to find a compatible farmer
- How to craft a lease agreement
An evening workshop on Thursday, October 25th in Topsfield will be followed by a guided bus tour of leased farmlands on the morning of Friday, October 26th departing from Essex. Details and registration.
