We believe that farm transfer is a critical issue to thousands of New England farm families and to those who own, manage, or value our region’s agricultural landscapes. Farm transfer planning is complicated. It’s hard to put all the pieces together. Sometimes it’s easier to avoid or postpone the process. Our network is committed to working in professional teams to cover the bases and respond to the unique needs and wishes of every farm family and farmland owner that we serve.

As a network, we manage this website and a database of providers. We share resources, collaborate on educational events, and offer professional training on topics related to farm transfer. FTNNE receives administrative support from Land For Good, Inc., a nonprofit organization based in NH and MA.
