Agricultural Stewardship Association: Farm Leasing Circle

On Thursday, October 26th, 2023, the Washington County Fair Office – located at 392 Old Schuylerville Road in Greenwich – will be hosting  a Farm Lease Learning Circle for Non Farming Landowners. This event will take place between 6:30 PM and 8:00 PM.

This event provides information to any landowner who would like more information about making their land available for farming. Nicole Tommell from the Cornell Cooperative Extension and farmers Jason Heitman and Andrea Grom will talk about what should be considered in developing a successful farm lease. The event provides an opportunity to meet landowners and service producers, ask questions, and learn about future goals. 

The Agricultural Stewardship Association (ASA) is a non-profit, community-supported land conservancy dedicated to protecting local farm land and working forests from encroaching development. The ASA is one of the very few land trusts in New York State focused exclusively on conserving working farms and forests. The ASA was founded in 1990, and has helped to conserve over 30.200 acres of 165 properties in Washington and Rensselaer counties.

This program is supported by American Farmland Trust, with support from the New York State Conservation Partnership Program and the New York Environmental Protection Fund.
