Access to land is one of the most pressing challenges facing New England’s beginning farmers. Land Here! Assuring Access to Land for New England’s Beginning Farmers (the Land Access Project) tackles the land access issue from all angles in this regional initiative.
The Land Access Project (LAP) brings together over fifty service providers from six New England states. Over the next two-and-a-half years, participants will improve and expand linking programs and farm transfer services. We will reach, support and inform public and private owners to make agriculturally capable lands available. We will develop and foster innovation in how farms and farmland are made available, affordable and secure for new farmers.
- Listing & Linking
- Farm Transfer
- Non-farming Landowners
- Tenure Innovations
A fifth task force focuses on building Land For Good’s coaching services for farm seekers, farm transfer families and non-farming landowners.
This project is supported by funds from the USDA Beginning Farmer and Rancher Development Program (NIFA #2010-03067).
