SOIL apprentice enrichment day – buying, leasing or sharing a farm
Posted in SOIL enrichment program, workshops on April 22nd, 2010 by Mary Alice – Be the first to commentToday 11 apprentices or proteges from the New Farmer Mentorship Project came to my farm for a workshop on Buying, Leasing, or Sharing a farm. We used a hand out from the local realtor who originally sold us our farm 25 years ago, Bruce MacMillan. You can download it here: Buying Property to farm
We also took a look at the old LLAFF (Linkng Land and Future Farmers) manual. Linking Land and Future Farmers Association (LLAFF) is a non-profit society devoted to promoting the best use of our agricultural land by getting folks on land farming and using community resources to do so. Through listing opportunities to buy, share, or rent land, LLAFF works to connect those looking for land with those who have land to offer. Originally started in 1994, and fallow for the past few years, LLAFF is coming out of retirement and could help you find land today, contact for more information. We lost our digital copy of the manual an only had a hard copy. Jen Girard’s dad was a tremendous help as he had a program that could scan the document and turn it into text. Jen cleaned up the scanned document but you might find some typo’s.
