About the Organization
The Groundswell Center is located in the Finger Lakes Region, and we are dedicated to diversifying the food system and providing opportunities for individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds who have historically been excluded from the land. The journey to find land and funding can be challenging, but we are committed to helping farmers navigate this process and succeed.
Regional Navigator Services
As part of this network, Groundswell can offer farmers guidance on navigating the process, as well as provide educational resources and support to help farmers and landowners successfully transfer their farms. If you’re a farmer in search of land, or a land owner offering land to lease or sell, you can create a profile on Farmland for a New Generation, share information about your ideal land access scenario, and reach out directly to farmland owners for more information about their land. Groundswell can help you find listings of farmland and farmers, as well as training materials, events, and technical assistance such as evaluating farmland, lease development, farm financing, and farm business planning. assistance
