A Workshop for Landowners, 
Farmers, and Community Groups 

This workshop is for private landowners interested in making their land available to farmers for agricultural production, members of community organizations interested in assisting local farmland owners to keep agricultural land in active production, and farmers interested in leasing issues.

Affordable access to land is one of the biggest hurdles that new and growing farmers face in our state. Farming on land held by non-farmers can be a win-win opportunity for owners and farmers.

 A panel will discuss these topics:

• Assessing your land and understanding the needs of farmer-tenants
• Crafting a lease suitable for both parties
• Legal, financial, tax, insurance, liability and other considerations
• How community organizations can help and neighbors can work together
• Finding a farmer and maintaining good communications
• Resources to support the landowner, including the new handbook, "Leasing to a Farmer"
  
  1pm-4pm             Presentations and panel discussion
                               Light farm fare will be served.
  

   

The panel includes representatives from: UNH Extension , Upper Valley Land Trust, Land For Good, and
Vital Communities.
