Leasing Land: Alternative to Purchasing for Beginning Farmers
With Jae Silverman, Massachusetts Field Agent, Land for Good
$10 Member; $15 Nonmember
6:30 pm via Zoom.
In collaboration with Jae Silverman, Land for Good’s Field Agent for Massachusetts, this workshop is an introduction to the different ways beginner farmers can access land and start farming as well as farmland owners looking to lease out their farmland. Jae will also discuss how leasing can be a viable long-term strategy in addition to being a stepping stone toward ownership. In addition to talking about different types of lease agreements we will also hear from a panel of farmers currently leasing land in the Berkshires and Pioneer Valley. A question and answer period immediately follows panel discussion.
