UPDATE - I built a site connecting retiring farmers with people who want to start farming
I previously posted about FarmRoots.app, the site I created to support farm succession and I wanted to provide an update.
The first transition postings are live! If you want to take over a turnkey Cranberry Farm in Washington State or start a regenerative operation on a lease to own property in Virginia, you can check out the opportunities at https://farmroots.app/BrowseOpportunities
Mentorship is live! I want to encourage anyone who is willing to be a mentor to new farmers, or new farmers looking for mentors, to check out the mentorship page and begin interactions. https://farmroots.app/Mentorship
There is also a forum page for anyone to post on - whether you are looking for answers to questions, other farmers to create a co-op, or simply to put out feelers, please check it out. https://farmroots.app/Forum
With data from the USDA NASS 2022 Census of Agriculture, I created a 'Succession Pressure Index' Map which shows the succession pressure by county across the US. https://farmroots.app/SuccessionMap
I appreciate the feedback from this group the first time I posted and wanted to share the updates. Thanks for the feedback and support!
