FINDING FARMLAND: Affordable Approaches to Land Access

November 1, 2018 @ 10:00 am - 6:00 pm

Accessing land is one of the most complex financial decisions that you will make as a farmer. Join National Young Farmers Coalition, Organic Growers School, and Southern Appalachian Highlands Conservancy in a workshop designed to prepare early career farmers to approach land access with confidence.

You will learn about:

  • Searching for farmland in Western North Carolina and the greater region
  • Finding help to evaluate farm properties
  • The financing process for different methods of accessing land
  • Working with a land trust
  • Financial planning using NYFC’s Finding Farmland Calculator
  • Case studies of other farmers’ paths to land access

The training is offered at a sliding scale registration rate. Lunch and refreshments will be provided throughout the day.

All participants are asked to complete our pre- and post-surveys to help improve this work.

This project is supported by a grant from the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture through its Beginning Farmer and Rancher Development Program, #2016-70017-25499.
