Finding Farmland
Farmland for a New Generation NY (FNG) is a farm linking website designed by American Farmland Trust to help beginning farmers and landowners connect. FNG can help support equitable land transfers, keeping our beautiful farmland in production!If you’re a farmer in search of land, you can create a profile on FNG as a “Land Seeker,” share information about your ideal land access scenario, and reach out directly to farmland owners for more information about their land.
