About Land For Good
Land For Good (LFG) is a nonprofit tax-exempt organization offering education and assistance to owners and managers of working lands, entering farmers, and other-land use decision-makers in the six New England states.
We started our nonprofit organization because we believe farming and land stewardship are vital to New England's future. Our vision is of a regional landscape of vibrant working farms and forests that provide opportunities for people who derive their livelihoods from the land. We envision working lands sustained by sound stewardship planning by owners and managers, and cared for by enterprising farmers for the benefit of the entire community.
Land for Good offers unique programs and services to keep New England's working lands working.
- We provide direct services to individual, families, organizations and units of government to help them acquire or plan for working lands
- We conduct public education and professional training activities
- We act as catalysts, collaborating with other service providers to strengthen service networks, build awareness, and foster supportive public policies
Our goals are to:
- Help owners and managers of working lands develop sound transfer or land use plans
- Enable affordable and secure access to farmland and farmer homes
- Educate the general public about working lands issues, innovative land use and land tenure models, sustainability practices, and local food systems
- Work with partners to develop, improve and promote methods that achieve successful farm transfers
- Promote farm business viability and economic opportunities for low income residents and their communities
- Help community residents contribute to long-term stability and wellbeing of local working lands
LFG is based in Keene, New Hampshire with a satellite office in western Massachusetts.
