Want Land? Got Land?


Are you a farmer looking for land? Are you a landowner looking for farmers?
We Want You! Join us at a Land Linking event near you on Vancouver Island,
in Penticton or Richmond to network, learn about leases, and more! Topics
you want to learn? Email land at youngagrarians.org.

WARNING: You may find a farmer who can turn your vacant field into a
productive farm, or keep your productive farm in production! Land seekers,
you may find a landowner with the land opportunity you’ve been seeking!
Come with an idea of what you are looking for, and a quick synopsis of your
vision for your land or future farm. List your land or farm dream on the YA
U-MAP today: maps.youngagrarians.org
