Community Conversations: Affordable farmland and conservation
This program series addresses important issues, from affordable farmland to building a community forest, and explores how they connect to conservation. One-hour Zoom sessions will include brief presentations, time for questions and answers, and the opportunity to connect with others.
This month, we will explore how, with some creative thinking, affordable farmland and conservation efforts can go hand-in-hand.
Finegan Ferreboeuf and Jason Gold, the Farmers of Steelbow Farm in Ancram, will be joined by Terence Duvall, Director of Land Protection & Stewardship at CLC, to discuss affordable farmland access and Steelbow Farm’s transition to Ancram. Duvall will provide an overview of affordable farmland models, highlighting CLC’s protection of this farm through a ground lease model and the search for new farmers. Ferreboeuf and Gold will then share their farming history, how they came to this property, and what’s next at Steelbow Farm!
