Meet ‘n Greet Farmers Who Preserved Their Land with CFT
Kies Orr – young dairy farmer, eastern CT
Josh Bristol – young vegetable farmer, western CT
Burton Jaynes – Christmas tree farmer, central CT
These three farmers have the inside knowledge to share what it is like to preserve the farm that they own. This webinar is perfect for farmland owners who are ready to take the next step towards land conservation.
They will address questions like, Why did you do it? What was the process like? Are you glad that you did it? What did protecting your land enable you to do? What is your future plan for the farm? Find out all this and more!
Please any submit questions for the farmers ahead of time to outreach@ctfarmland.org, or during the Zoom.

Experts are coming to your living rooms and kitchens this spring. CFT staff and guest experts to share knowledge and learn from each other once a week, mid-May through mid-June.
This series will help land stewards gain what they need to know about farmland preservation and also elevate how we think about land trusts. You can meet guests who will answer the questions, How does farmland preservation work? and What else can a land trust do in addition to protecting land?
