Farm Transfer Toolkit
The Farm Transfer Toolkit is a practical, print-friendly resource designed to guide agricultural landowners through the process of passing on their land, their operation, or both to the next generation. It brings together key steps, worksheets, and planning tools to help users clarify goals, evaluate finances, and navigate important conversations with family members and professionals. Developed by American Farmland Trust for its Land Transfer Navigators program, with support from the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service, this toolkit offers a steady, thoughtful approach to one of the most important decisions a landowner can make.
Discover & Connect with Local Farms
The Farmish app is a simple, practical tool that helps connect people with locally grown food right in their own communities. It allows farmers and producers to list what they have available, while making it easy for customers to find fresh products nearby. For those looking to support local agriculture or expand their reach, Farmish offers a straightforward way to build connections, strengthen local food systems, and keep business close to home.
