BFRDP Projects

The Land for Farmers project is assisting aspiring and beginning farmers in New England, and across the country, to gain knowledge and skills to make farmland access a reality for their farming endeavors. This project revised the New England Farmland Finder website, the region’s largest farm link website, with added features and improved functionality. Additional guidebooks and resources were developed and distributed freely on the newly improved Land For Good website and Resource library. Acquiring Your Farm - a new six-week course - was offered annually to provide in-depth support to cohorts of farmers ready to make next steps. Webinar series for farmland owners was offered annually on Making Your Land Available for Farming to increase availability of properties and ensure their suitability for farming. Land For Good staff and partnering organizations provided educational workshops and individualized technical assistance on farmland access, tenure and transfer across the six New England states.

With gratitude to our project partners: American Farmland Trust, Connecticut Farmland Trust, Vermont Land Link/Intervale Centr, Maine Farmland Trust, Northeast Farmers of Color Land Trust, Southern New England Farmers of Color Collective and World Farmers.
