Are you a farmer who wishes to access land, or a landholder who wants to sell or lease your agricultural land or business? Are you looking for farmer collaborators?
Rogue Farm Corps's Changing Hands Workshops are for farmers and ranchers who wish to access land, and for landholders who want to sell or lease their agricultural land or business. We will be hosting a day of education on collaborative land access, communication, and elevator-pitch writing, as well as facilitated networking for effective and meaningful connection between landholders and landseekers, and separate networking for farmers looking for collaborative partners for collective or cooperative farm projects.
Don't miss this opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals and meet other farmers who just might be the missing piece of your farmland puzzle. Come prepared to ask questions, share your experiences, and leave with new friends and collaborators!
Refreshments and lunch will be provided.
