Beginning farmers

Nearly half of all U.S. farmland is expected to change hands in the next 20 years. Getting more farmers on the land is essential to ensuring that land continues to be farmed and our local communities thrive. Beginning farmers, specifically those who have been farming for 10 years or less, face a unique set of challenges in accessing land, education, financing, and navigating the hurdles of the early years of farming. Whether those are production, financial management, organic certification, or connecting with peers, there are many resources to help guide you along the way.
