Land For Good is a regional and national leader on issues of farmland access, land tenure security, and farm transfer. Since 2004, Land For Good has been working with farmers, landowners, and a wide network of collaborators to put more farmers more securely on land in New England, to support farm viability, to expand farming opportunity, and to keep farmland in farming.

These are remote, hourly positions (averaging 20 hours per week) – with opportunity to expand and combine roles.
