This Land Linking workshop will feature a panel discussion where you will hear from matched farmers and farmland holders, plus a land access expert. Panelists will highlight key considerations for building and maintaining mutually beneficial land agreements.

You will learn the benefits of land sharing, how to assess land for farming, decision-making strategies for farm operations on leased land and tips for managing communication and relationships. There will also be ample time to network and speak directly with land seekers, landholders and your regional land matcher, Nyree Marsh.

We encourage all landholders to join us, whether you have a well-developed vision for your land or have just started thinking about leasing. We also welcome all farmers and farmers-to-be, whether you grow fruits or veggies, raise livestock (or bees!) or have some other farming project in mind. We hope you’ll join us to spend the day meeting farmers and landholders in your region!
