• Securing land remains one of the steepest barriers for new, beginning, and historically underserved farmers looking to establish operations in Connecticut. This panel will dive into CLCC’s comprehensive Farmland Access Report to highlight research-backed pathways for bridging the gap between available acreage and land-seeking producers. Freedom Gerardo, Land For Good’s Connecticut Field Agent and Kip Kolesinskas, from Connecticut FarmLink and Working Lands Alliance will share collaborative strategies, networking resources, and technical assistance models designed to facilitate these vital connections. Attendees will walk away with actionable lease models and real-world examples of how local land trusts can successfully partner with farmers to activate trust-owned property. Farmland Conservation is a three-part webinar series hosted by Connecticut Land Conservation Council.
