American Farmland Trust’s mission is to save the land that sustains us by protecting farmland, promoting sound farming practices, and keeping farmers on the land. In partnership with Tioga County Soil & Water Conservation District, Tioga County Economic Development and Planning, and Cornell Cooperative Extension of Tioga County, we at American Farmland Trust invite you to a series of interactive workshops to plan for the future of your farm. These workshops will provide guidance on making your land accessible to new farmers, negotiating leases on farmland and provide a framework for land transfer and succession planning. We know that farmers are busy, so we are hosting these events at three different locations throughout Tioga County. Each workshop/location will present the same information on the topic area. Light refreshments & travel stipends will be provided.

This workshop will be held three times at the following dates/times:

Wednesday, November 5, 1:00 - 3:00 PM at the Berkshire Town Hall, 18 Railroad Ave, Berkshire

Wednesday, November 5, 6:30 – 8:30 PM at the Neighborhood Depot, 146 Central Ave., Owego

Thursday, November 6, 11:00 AM - 1:00 PM at the Barton Town Hall, 304 State Route 17C, Waverly

Are you a land seeker looking for farmland access? Attend our tandem land seeker workshop and social on Wednesday, November 5, 6:30 – 8:30 PM at the Neighborhood Depot location only to learn about lease agreements, how to communicate with a landowner, and ways to find farmland in New York.
