ARE YOU INTERESTED IN HAVING YOUR LAND FARMED?

One of the most challenging aspects of farming in Vermont and New Hampshire is the cost of land. It's a barrier for aspiring farmers and a planning consideration for existing farmers who need to consider the transfer of a farm property. At the same time, it's also an opportunity for landowners who are interested in having their land farmed.

Located in Keene, New Hampshire, Land for Good provides coaching and assistance to landowners, farmers and aspiring farmers. According to Bob Bernstein, who started this nonprofit with Craig Oshkello and Kathy Ruhf, "There's a lot of opportunity for both farmers and landowners, but the biggest obstacle for most folks is putting together a plan."

Their website address is www.landforgood.org. You can contact Land for Good at 603-357-1600 or info@landforgood.org.
